Arise!
An international history of radical movements and their convergences during the Mexican Revolution The Mexican Revolution was a global event that catalyzed international radicals in unexpected sites and struggles. Tracing the paths of figures like Black American artist Elizabeth Catlett, Indian anti-colonial activist M.N. Roy, Mexican revolutionary leader Ricardo Flores Magón, Okinawan migrant organizer Paul Shinsei Kōchi, and Soviet feminist Alexandra Kollontai, Arise! reveals how activists around the world found inspiration and solidarity in revolutionary Mexico. From art collectives and farm worker strikes to prison "universities," Arise! reconstructs how this era's radical organizers found new ways to fight global capitalism. Drawing on prison records, surveillance data, memoirs, oral histories, visual art, and a rich trove of untapped sources, Christina Heatherton considers how disparate revolutionary traditions merged in unanticipated alliances. From her unique vantage point, she charts the remarkable impact of the Mexican Revolution as radicals in this critical era forged an anti-racist internationalism from below.

Neither Peace Nor Freedom

Culture as Soft Power
This book contributes to bridge the gap between different scholarly communities interested in the entanglements of culture and politics in the international arena. It sheds light on existing connections in their parallel evolution with a thorough literature review, complemented by several case studies showing the fruitful character of their interdisciplinary mobilisation. Through the notions of cultural relations, intellectual cooperation and cultural diplomacy, the book draws on a soft power perspective to offer a shared, novel, and interdisciplinary theoretical framework to approach cultural institutions and organisations that have been previously examined as isolated objects: for example, cultural institutes, international organisations, literary magazines, and literary contests. The interdisciplinary nature of this volume justifies the relevance of its content for scholars working in the history of international relations, international cultural relations and intellectual history, comparative literature, sociology of literature and global literary studies.

La formación del sistema monetario mexicano durante la transición de la Nueva España al México independiente
Hacia 1808, justo antes de las convulsiones de la monarquía española, el peso fuerte con el busto de Carlos IV y poco después, con el de Fernando VII, circulaba con gran asiduidad en mercados americanos, asiáticos y europeos. La Real Casa de Moneda de México era un bastión ejemplar de creación de moneda y producía numerario en la Nueva España bajo principios establecidos por un poder central: la corona española. En contraste, hacia 1824, un naciente congreso federal había permitido que la administración de casas de moneda y emisión de pesos plata recayesen en los gobiernos de provincia. La fabricación de pesos fuertes había transitado de la potestad del rey de España a la de ...
