Raises key question – how are we defining peasantry? Only as those who do not sell their labor power? Based on land ownership? Etc I can trace the debate b/t different thinkers on this question but ultimately must also lay out my own definition of who is the peasantry. Important to consider how peasantry has often overlapped with ...

Monday, January 19, 2009. Capitalist Development from Independence to the Porfiriato. Adolfo Gilly, The Mexican Revolution. Gilly traces the early foundation of the Revolution of 1910 to the development of capitalism in Mexico following its war for independence in 1810. Led by Miguel Hidalgo and José María Morelos, “the Jacobin wing of the revolution”, this was a class war, an agrarian revolt in gestation, which saw the army, the Church and the large landowners ally with the Spanish crown. 1] Here there ...

In dismissing deterministic, patriarchal, and white supremacist notions of history, civilization, and progress, critics have gone too far in the opposite direction and opted for a modern relativism that leaves little possibility for understanding History, let alone constituting a revolutionary praxis. The “ rational. Impossibl...
