Rebels of the South! It is better to die on your feet than to live
on your knees. -Inscription dated April 11, 1919, one day after the
assassination of Emiliano Zapata, carved on a post at the Borda
Garden in Cuernavaca, seen by Frank Tannenbaum in 1923. Peace by
Revolution, An Interpretation of Mexico (New York, 1933), page179.
Do not wear a shirt of eleven yards, for he who wants to be a
Redeemer will be crucified. Guadalajara proverb, quoted in John
Reed, Insurgent Mexico. 1914, page 78. Roots of Revolution focuses
on the longstanding social and economic ills that caused society to
disintegrate into violence during the classic social and economic
Latin American revolutions of Mexico from 1910 to 1940, Bolivia
since 1952, Cuba since 1959, and Nicaragua since 1979. Peaceful
change eluded - temporarily at least - Chile, Argentina and Peru,
and the future of Venezuela and other countries is undetermined.
Considering the pervasive hunger and illiteracy in Latin America,
as well as the inadequate or non-existent medical and educational
systems, it is surprising to note that there have only been four
classic revolutions with profound social and economic restructuring
of society. Based upon the author's firsthand knowledge as a
journalist focused on Latin America, this book is designed to give
the latest information, historical or present, on such revolutions.
The human element is emphasized, including that of the author, but
these comments are clearly separated from the body of the work.
