Abstract
Abstract:Este artículo examina los enfrentamientos generados por la Revolución cubana en la izquierda intelectual mexicana al inicio de 1970. La correspondencia de Laurette Séjourné, arqueóloga de origen italiano radicada en México, permite identificar las tensiones que se produjeron entre quienes mantuvieron una lealtad incondicional hacia el régimen cubano y aquellos que pusieron una distancia a partir de la sovietización. Esta confrontación muestra que la Nueva Izquierda no fue un grupo ideológicamente homogéneo e invita a problematizar el uso de esta categoría.Abstract:This paper examines the clashes among leftist Mexican intellectuals at the beginning of the 1970s as a consequence of the Cuban Revolution. The correspondence of Laurette Séjourné, an archeologist of Italian origin based in Mexico, provides a source for identifying the tensions generated between those who had maintained an unconditional loyalty toward the Cuban regime and those who had distanced themselves following its Sovietization. This confrontation shows that the New Left was not an ideologically homogenous group and leads to questioning the use of this category.
期刊介绍:
The rich cultural production and unique peoples of Mexico--coupled with the country"s complex history, political legacy, social character, economy, and scientific development--lay the foundation for the bilingual Mexican Studies/Estudios Mexicanos, the only U.S. published academic journal of its kind. Journal articles in both English and Spanish are welcomed from a variety of multidisciplinary perspectives and methodologies, comparative analyses notwithstanding. All content published remains focused on the contributions to and knowledge of Mexican studies as a discipline.
