Abstract

The 1920s – and above all the delahuertista rebellion of 1923–4 – represent a fundamental moment of ideological narrowing in Mexico’s postrevolutionary history. While prior to 1923 there were a host of competing leftisms – often radical, focusing on Indigenous peoples, women and campesinos – by the end of the decade these alternative ‘revolutionary roads’ had been closed off.
