Abstract

But as the Gastonia intervention reveals, for Mexicana activists, "the anarchist ideal of a nationless world" (3) nurtured their sense of solidarity with all workers, whether in Tamaulipas, the United States, or elsewhere. The anarchist vision came under attack when the Mexican Revolution that had ushered in so much revolutionary promise settled into one-party rule of a national state triumphant, which coopted the labor movement and was all too willing to marginalize anarchists and communists. Hernández adds geography to the mix, reminding us that while it is critical to understand how Mexicana activists took part in a transnational workers liberation project, they also shaped local histories.
