A tale, never before told, of anarchy, cooperation, and betrayal at
the margins of the Mexican revolution. In this long-awaited book,
Claudio Lomnitz tells a groundbreaking story about the experiences
and ideology of American and Mexican revolutionary collaborators of
the Mexican anarchist Ricardo Flores Magon. Drawing on extensive
research in Mexico and the United States, Lomnitz explores the
rich, complicated, and virtually unknown lives of Flores Magon and
his comrades devoted to the "Mexican Cause." This anthropological
history of anarchy, cooperation, and betrayal seeks to capture the
experience of dedicated militants who themselves struggled to
understand their role and place at the margins of the Mexican
Revolution. For them, the revolution was untranslatable, a pure but
deaf subversion: La revolucion es la revolucion-"The Revolution is
the Revolution." For Lomnitz, the experiences of Flores Magon and
his comrades reveal the meaning of this phrase. The Return of
Comrade Ricardo Flores Magon tracks the lives of John Kenneth
Turner, Ethel Duffy, Elizabeth Trowbridge, Ricardo Flores Magon,
Lazaro Gutierrez de Lara, and others, to illuminate the reciprocal
relationship between personal and collective ideology and action.
It is an epic and tragic tale, never before told, about camaraderie
and disillusionment in the first transnational grassroots political
movement to span the U.S.-Mexican border. The Return of Comrade
Ricardo Flores Magon will change not only how we think about the
Mexican Revolution but also how we understand revolutionary action
and passion.
