Description

Recognizing the fiftieth anniversary of the protests, strikes, and violent struggles that formed the political and cultural backdrop of 1968 across Europe, america, and Latin The united states, Susana Draper offers a nuanced viewpoint of the 1968 movement in Mexico. She challenges the dominant cultural narrative of the movement that has emphasized the importance of the October 2nd Tlatelolco Massacre and the responses of male student leaders. From marginal cinema collectives to women’s cooperative experiments, Draper reveals new archives of revolutionary participation that provide insight into how 1968 and its many afterlives are understood in Mexico and beyond. By giving voice to Mexican Marxist philosophers, political prisoners, and women who participated within the movement, Draper counters the canonical memorialization of 1968 by illustrating how many diverse voices inspired alternative varieties of political participation. Given the current rise of social movements world wide, in 1968 Mexico Draper provides a new framework to take into account the events of 1968 as a way to rethink the on a regular basis existential, political, and philosophical problems of the current.
