Dreams Of Freedom - A Ricardo Flores Magon Reader (Paperback)

This is the first collection in English of writing by Magon (1874-1922), a legend in Mexican and Mexican-American history. Through his newspaper, Regeneracion, Magon boldly criticised the injustices of Mexico's military dictatorship and worked to build the popular movement that eventually overthrew it. Exiled to the United States, Magon continued to agitate for revolution. Both the US and Mexican governments responded with harsh repression: Leavenworth Prison finally murdered him in 1922. Magon's writings bring an anarchist-communist perspective to topics such as racism, feminism, religion, war and social revolution. The work is edited by Chaz Bufe and Mitchell Cowen Vertor.
