CANCELLED: Revolutionary Legacies: Modalities of Agrarian and Religious Violence in Post-Re...Mexico
10 Mar 2020, 17:30 – 19:30
After the Mexican revolution, violence became a tool available to a broad array of social actors. This paper examines the different ways in which conflicts over land and religion transformed the revolutionary legacy in the practices of violence. Rather than a mere aftermath of revolution, the conflicts that engulfed large parts of the country during the 1920s and 1930s had their own rules. Agraristas, rural guards, soldiers and cristeros shaped Mexican politics in different ways for decades to come. This paper will contrast those uses of violence and their unexpected consequences.
