In this, they confirmed the words of the popular chant, “Fue el estado.” It took federal authorities eight years to admit what the victims’ families and journalists had long argued, namely that drug traffickers, along with elements of the Mexican military and other federal officials, conspired in the disappearance and subsequent coverup of what came to be known as “Ayotzinapa’s Missing 43.”","PeriodicalId":51706,"journal":{"name":"REVIEW-LITERATURE AND ARTS OF THE AMERICAS","volume":"101 1","pages":"533 - 534"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77353985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although works such Megan Threlkeld’s Pan American Women: U.S. Internationalists and Revolutionary Mexico (2014) have examined this subject, and the collection Wobblies of the World: A Global History of the IWW (2017) includes David M. Struthers’s chapter “IWW Internationalism and Interracial Organizing in the Southwestern United States,” Heatherton’s monograph effectively contextualizes the study within the broader framework of “the era of New Imperialism” during the early twentieth century. Under this New Imperialism, the “shadow hegemony” exercised by the United States represents “a defensive subjectivity of becoming, a longing for power required through racist terror” (13). Heatherton uses the writings of Frederick Douglass and W. E. B. Du Bois and considers the lives and works of Ricardo Flores Magón, Dorothy Healey, Alexandra Kollontai, and Elizabeth Catlett, among others, to “[foreground] the influence of the Mexican Revolution, the first major social revolution of the twentieth century” (14).","PeriodicalId":51706,"journal":{"name":"REVIEW-LITERATURE AND ARTS OF THE AMERICAS","volume":"89 1","pages":"523 - 524"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82606347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the violence in the 1980s and 1990s, some 70,000 people were killed. Sendero Luminoso began an armed struggle against the state in 1980 and used brutal tactics, targeting civilians as well. Nevertheless, it had substantial campesino support, at least in the first years. The armed forces unleashed extensive counterinsurgent violence that included massacres, disappearances, torture, and killings. In 1992, right-wing president Alberto Fujimori launched an “auto-coup.” In the name of fighting terrorism, he authorized fierce new counterinsurgency campaigns. Army operations against supposed Sendero militants also targeted civilian populations suspected of supporting them, resulting in massacres in the highlands and urban areas, such as La Cantuta and Barrios Altos. Political opponents were labeled “terrorists” to discredit them.","PeriodicalId":51706,"journal":{"name":"REVIEW-LITERATURE AND ARTS OF THE AMERICAS","volume":"17 1","pages":"531 - 532"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89406848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
