Extract

“How can an overarching struggle be articulated without simplifying, flattening, or rendering equivalent different forms of systemic violence?” (p. 17). Christina Heatherton poses this profound methodological question in Arise!, a book that makes the case for the centrality of the Mexican Revolution to modern internationalism and global radicalism. The book brings together in one volume a wide-ranging group of internationalist activists who intersected with the Mexican Revolution. Using Frederick Douglass's and W. E. B. Du Bois's notion of the “color line,” Heatherton shows how racism was central to the new imperialism and to U.S. investments in Mexico and beyond.

The book begins in 1848, exploring the resonances between that year's worker uprisings in Europe, Karl Marx's publication of The Communist Manifesto, and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the U.S.-Mexican War and lopped off half of Mexico to expand the U.S. Empire westward. In the mid-nineteenth century, the United States was still operating in the mode of a traditional empire, seizing territory by force, but Heatherton shows how the new imperialism, in which financial control became more important than simply controlling territory, was incipient on the lower Rio Grande, even in the middle of the nineteenth century.
