Fueled by her own contact with migrant farm workers, Dolores became an outspoken activist and organizer. In 1962, she helped found the National Farm Workers Association with legendary Mexican-American labor leader César Chávez to help farm laborers who had virtually no access to the system of labor laws and conditions under which they lived and worked. This seminal moment in U.S. labor history took its place among the many other accomplishments of this brave and resourceful leader in the struggle for human rights, including civil rights aimed at improving the lives of workers, voters, immigrants, and women.

Download or read book Murder and Counterrevolution in Mexico written by Friedrich E. Schuler and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2017-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Admiral Paul von Hintze arrived in Mexico in the spring of 1911 to serve as Germany's ambassador to a country in a state of revolution. Germany's emperor Wilhelm II had selected Hintze as his personal eyes and ears in Mexico (and concomitantly the neighboring United States) during the portentous years leading up to the First World War. The ambassador benefited from a network of informers throughout Mexico and was closely involved in the country's political and diplomatic machinations as the violent revolution played out. Murder and Counterrevolution in Mexico presents Hintze's eyewitness accounts of these turbulent years. Hintze's diary, telegrams, letters, and other records, translated, edited, and annotated by Friedrich E. Schuler, offer detailed insight into Victoriano Huerta's overthrow and assassination of Francisco Madero and Huerta's ensuing dictatorship and chronicle the U.S.-supported resistance. Showcasing the political relationship between Germany and Mexico, Hintze's suspenseful, often daily diary entries provide new insight into the turmoil of the Mexican Revolution, including U.S. diplomatic maneuvers and subterfuge, as well as an intriguing backstory to the infamous 1917 Zimmermann Telegram, which precipitated U.S. entry into World War I.

Download or read book The Mexican Revolution written by Robert Weis and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume untangles the multiple threads of the Mexican Revolution to present an accessible introduction to its causes, development, and consequences. Grounded in a detailed narrative that readers can actively explore through accompanying primary sources, the book also provides a broad view of Mexico’s cultural, political, and social evolution from the 1870s to the 1940s. It traces the promises and perils of export-led modernization during the late nineteenth century, the subsequent explosion of popular discontent, the difficult process of reconstruction, and the lasting legacies. The book emphasizes the promises and shortcomings of liberalism; the demands from workers and peasants; the gender underpinnings of revolutionary principles; new forms of authoritarianism; and how conservative resistance curbed the revolution’s reform agenda. Featuring a number of learning tools such as a chronology, glossary, and introduction to key historical figures, The Mexican Revolution is a helpful resource for undergraduate students and non-specialist readers interested in Mexico and its major revolution.
