The Global Perspective of Urban Labor in Mexico City, 1910-1929
examines the global entanglement of the Mexican labor movement
during the Mexican Revolution. It describes how global influences
made their entry into labor culture through the cinema, the
theater, and labor festivals as well as into the development of
consumption patterns and advertisement. It further shows how the
young labor movement constituted its discourse and invented its
tradition at meetings and in the columns of newspapers. The local
conditions constitute the framework for the examination of Mexican
labor's perspectives on and engagement with contemporary events of
global significance. Thereby, this book demonstrates how workers
turned to the global context in search of guidance and role models,
embracing global developments and narratives. It also reveals the
differentiations from this context in order to create a unique
local identity. This approach allows new perspectives on the role
of a neglected revolutionary actor and on the influence of global
developments in a revolution that has been predominantly
interpreted from a national point of view. It shows the way global
ideas were brought to life in the framework of revolutionary Mexico
City - providing new insights into the grand-narratives of
Globalization and Revolution.
