Drawing on fifteen years of interviews and archival research, including examinations of declassified government documents from Mexico, this study uncovers encounters between activists and artists across borders while sharing a socialist-oriented, anticapitalist vision. In discussions ranging from the Nuevo Teatro Popular movement across Latin America to the Revolutionary Proletariat Party of America in Mexico and the Peronista Youth organizers in Argentina, Alan Eladio Gómez brings to light the transnational nature of leftist organizing by people of Mexican descent in the United States, tracing an array of festivals, assemblies, labor strikes, clandestine organizations, and public protests linked to an international movement of solidarity against imperialism. Taking its title from the ?greater Mexico? designation used by Américo Paredes to describe the present and historical movement of Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and Chicanas/os back and forth across the US-Mexico border, this book analyzes the radical creativity and global justice that animated ?Greater Mexico? leftists during a pivotal decade. While not all the participants were of one mind politically or personally, they nonetheless shared an international solidarity that was enacted in local arenas, giving voice to a political and cultural imaginary that circulated throughout a broad geographic terrain while forging multifaceted identities. The epilogue considers the politics of going beyond solidarity. 606 $aChicano movement 606 $aSocial movements$zLatin America 606 $aSolidarity$xPolitical aspects$zLatin America 606 $aRadicalism$zLatin America 606 $aMexican Americans$xPolitics and government$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aLatin America$xPolitics and government$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChicano movement. 615 0$aSocial movements 615 0$aSolidarity$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aRadicalism 615 0$aMexican Americans$xPolitics and government$xHistory 676 $a303.48/40980904 700 $aGo?mez$b Alan Eladio$01507466 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798771603321 996 $aThe Revolutionary Imaginations of Greater Mexico$93738239 997 $aUNINA
