Vicente Lombardo Toledano was the founder of numerous labour union
organisations in Mexico and Latin America between the 1920s and the
1960s. He was not only an organiser but also a broker between the
unions, the government, and business leaders—an almost singular
figure able to disentangle difficult, seemingly irreconcilable
conflicts. He cooperated closely with the governments of Mexico and
other Latin American nations and worked with the representatives of
the Soviet Union when he considered it useful. This willingness to
work across ideological divides meant that he was alternately seen
as a government stooge or a communist, even though he was never a
member of the Communist Party nor of any Mexican government
administration. Daniela Spenser's rousing new biography of Lombardo
Toledano is the first to be based on his extensive private papers.
In addition to this unprecedented access, Spenser also draws on
primary sources from European, Mexican and American archives, and
on extensive personal interviews. Her even-keeled portrayal of the
man counters both previous hagiographies and vilifications that
have come before it.
