Renewing old bonds with trusted allies such as the Confederation of Mexican Workers bore fruit for the regime, yet the road to redemption was fraught with peril during this era of Cold War and class contestation. While Luis EcheverrIa, Fidel VelAzquez, and other officials appeased union brass with discourses of revolutionary populism and policies that challenged business leaders, conflicts emerged, and repression ensued when rank-and-file workers criticized the chasm between rhetoric and reality and tested their leaders' limits of toleration.

"An important new book that every Mexican historian should read. Joseph Lenti has delved deeply into the archives to document the vitality of the Mexican labor movement for much of the twentieth century [as well as] its weaknesses."-John Mason Hart, John and Rebecca Moores Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Houston and author of Empire and Revolution: The Americans in Mexico since the Civil War "Pathbreaking. Joseph Lenti challenges previous interpretations of Mexican authoritarianism and suggests a multiplicity of ways that workers negotiated their relationship with the state and shaped the course of modern Mexican history. Redeeming the Revolution will help students of Mexican politics and labor history rethink prior assumptions."-Gregory S. Crider, professor and chair of the Department of History at Winthrop UniversityMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
