Bad Mexicans: Race, Empire, and Revolution in the Borderlands

Bad Mexicans is a groundbreaking narrative that reframes our understanding of U.S.

history by telling the dramatic story of the magonistas, a group of migrant rebels who sparked the 1910 Mexican Revolution from the United States.

Led by the brilliant but ill-tempered radical Ricardo Flores Magón, the magonistas were a motley band of journalists, miners, and migrant workers who organized thousands of Mexican workers and American dissidents to their cause.

Despite being hunted across the country by U.S.

authorities, the magonistas persevered and ignited the world's first social revolution of the twentieth century.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands and the ongoing struggle for social justice.
