In August 2022, Mexican authorities acknowledged what activists had been claiming for years: that the 43 normal school students who had gone missing in the southern state of Guerrero on September 26, 2014, were forcibly disappeared by the state. In this, they confirmed the words of the popular chant, “Fue el estado.” It took federal authorities eight years to admit what the victims’ families and journalists had long argued, namely that drug traffickers, along with elements of the Mexican military and other federal officials, conspired in the disappearance and subsequent coverup of what came to be known as “Ayotzinapa’s Missing 43.”
2022年8月,墨西哥当局承认了活动人士多年来一直在声称的事情:2014年9月26日在南部格雷罗州失踪的43名师范学生是被政府强迫失踪的。在这一点上,他们证实了流行的圣歌“Fue el estado”。联邦当局花了八年时间才承认受害者家属和记者长期以来一直在争论的问题,即毒贩与墨西哥军方和其他联邦官员合谋,策划了这起后来被称为“阿约齐纳帕失踪43人”的失踪事件,并随后对其进行了掩盖。

Christina Heatherton’s book is a timely and necessary contribution to the study of the parallels between the Mexican Revolution and the Internationalist Movement within and beyond Mexico’s borders. Although works such Megan Threlkeld’s Pan American Women: U.S. Internationalists and Revolutionary Mexico (2014) have examined this subject, and the collection Wobblies of the World: A Global History of the IWW (2017) includes David M. Struthers’s chapter “IWW Internationalism and Interracial Organizing in the Southwestern United States,” Heatherton’s monograph effectively contextualizes the study within the broader framework of “the era of New Imperialism” during the early twentieth century. Under this New Imperialism, the “shadow hegemony” exercised by the United States represents “a defensive subjectivity of becoming, a longing for power required through racist terror” (13). Heatherton uses the writings of Frederick Douglass and W. E. B. Du Bois and considers the lives and works of Ricardo Flores Magón, Dorothy Healey, Alexandra Kollontai, and Elizabeth Catlett, among others, to “[foreground] the influence of the Mexican Revolution, the first major social revolution of the twentieth century” (14).
克里斯蒂娜·希瑟顿(Christina Heatherton)的书对研究墨西哥革命和国际主义运动在墨西哥境内外的相似之处做出了及时而必要的贡献。尽管Megan Threlkeld的《泛美妇女:美国国际主义者和革命的墨西哥》(2014)等作品研究了这一主题,《世界的摇摆:世界产盟的全球历史》(2017)中包括David M. Struthers的章节“IWW国际主义和美国西南部的跨种族组织”,但Heatherton的专著有效地将这一研究纳入了20世纪初“新帝国主义时代”的更广泛框架内。在这种新帝国主义下,美国行使的“影子霸权”代表了“一种防御性的主体性,一种通过种族主义恐怖所需的对权力的渴望”(13)。希瑟顿使用弗雷德里克·道格拉斯和w·e·b·杜波依斯的著作,并考虑里卡多·弗洛雷斯Magón、多罗西·希利、亚历山德拉·科伦泰和伊丽莎白·卡特利特等人的生活和作品,以“[突出]墨西哥革命的影响,这是20世纪第一次重大的社会革命”(14)。

On any given night, the men lit the lamps on their assigned blocks, blew their whistles, shouted “¡Sereno!” and dragged inebriated residents to jail. On other less tranquil evenings, they skirmished with militiamen or imbibed with the very same people they were supposed to apprehend. The late colonial patrolmen or serenos of Mexico City, their neighborhoods, and their foes are the subjects of Nicole von Germeten’s immersive and engaging monograph.

lived under slavery. Candioti provides new evidence on the overlapping language of abolition and the disappearance of people of African ancestry, showing intersections in the discourse promoting abolition with early iterations of the myth of “disappearance”—the racial narratives depicting the extinction of people of African ancestry from Argentina. This book may interest those examining the late nineteenth century, by connecting the politics of post-abolition with the efforts of elites to extract labor from subaltern populations through the increasing presence of the police, military, public health, and public education in everyday life.

Joseph Feldman reviews the fraught development of Peru’s Place of Memory, Tolerance, and Social Inclusion in Lima, originally imagined as a site to commemorate the victims of massive human rights abuses and Peru’s recent history of internal armed conflict. During the violence in the 1980s and 1990s, some 70,000 people were killed. Sendero Luminoso began an armed struggle against the state in 1980 and used brutal tactics, targeting civilians as well. Nevertheless, it had substantial campesino support, at least in the first years. The armed forces unleashed extensive counterinsurgent violence that included massacres, disappearances, torture, and killings. In 1992, right-wing president Alberto Fujimori launched an “auto-coup.” In the name of fighting terrorism, he authorized fierce new counterinsurgency campaigns. Army operations against supposed Sendero militants also targeted civilian populations suspected of supporting them, resulting in massacres in the highlands and urban areas, such as La Cantuta and Barrios Altos. Political opponents were labeled “terrorists” to discredit them.

In response to the tightening of European colonial control and the rapid decline in the region’s autonomy, Murphy provides an excellent analysis of two rebellions in the 1790s. The author explains that although they were undoubtedly part of the movements that crisscrossed the Atlantic, they do not fold so neatly into the broader Age of Revolution that rocked the Caribbean. Fedon’s Rebellion in Grenada and the Second Carib War in St. Vincent were part of a much longer struggle that dated back to the seventeenth century, one in which imperial powers attempted to assert colonial rule against a local population that wanted to exercising customary rights.
