Friday, February 5, 2010. An Autonomist Marxist Perspective on the Peasantry, pt 2. Notes on The Contemporary Peasantry in Mexico: A Class Analysis. By Ann Lucas de Rouffignac. Raises key question – how are we defining peasantry? Only as those who do not sell their labor power? Based on land ownership? Etc I can trace the debate b/t different thinkers on this question but ultimately must also lay out my own definition of who is the peasantry. Important to consider how peasantry has often overlapped with ...

Monday, January 19, 2009. Capitalist Development from Independence to the Porfiriato. Adolfo Gilly, The Mexican Revolution. Gilly traces the early foundation of the Revolution of 1910 to the development of capitalism in Mexico following its war for independence in 1810. Led by Miguel Hidalgo and José María Morelos, “the Jacobin wing of the revolution”, this was a class war, an agrarian revolt in gestation, which saw the army, the Church and the large landowners ally with the Spanish crown. 1] Here there ...

Saturday, January 9, 2010. When Shifting Class Tensions Converge. This makes me think of Iran in a different way (or perhaps the current events in Iran are making me think of Mexico in a different way). Important dividing lines coalesced in 1910:. C) This combined social pressure served to produce symptoms of crisis and division among the capitalist and landowning bourgeoisie in whose name Diaz and the científicos.

Mexico's Third Revolution: History, Civilization, Progress
http://elmexicoinsurgente.blogspot.com/2009/02/history-civilization-progress.html
Monday, February 2, 2009. History, Civilization, Progress. Murray Bookchin, The Philosophy of Social Ecology: Essays on Dialectical Naturalism. Bookchin is “negating the negation”. In dismissing deterministic, patriarchal, and white supremacist notions of history, civilization, and progress, critics have gone too far in the opposite direction and opted for a modern relativism that leaves little possibility for understanding History, let alone constituting a revolutionary praxis. The “ rational. Impossibl...

Mexico's Third Revolution: "Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself..."
http://elmexicoinsurgente.blogspot.com/2009/06/allow-me-to-reintroduce-myself.html
Wednesday, June 3, 2009. Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself.". So I've gotta get the ball rolling here again, after a long hiatus. I haven't been writing much and seeing an empty blog was getting pretty depressing, so I shut it down for awhile. But with some inspiration and support from close friends and a little bit of harassment from family and relevant faculty, I'm going to give this thesis blog another stab. I saw that Lance over at Exploring American Anarchism. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
