Issue 13 of REVUELTAS. Revista Chilena de Historia Social Popular is now available!

We are pleased to announce the publication of issue 13 of REVUELTAS. Revista Chilena de Historia Social Popular, a new edition that reaffirms our commitment to disseminating research focused on popular sectors, their forms of organization, their repertoires of collective action, and their struggles over memory, justice, and social transformation.

The works gathered in this volume return to a central concern of social history: the ways in which popular subjects constitute themselves as historical actors and dispute the conditions in which they live and act. From different contexts, temporalities, and scales of analysis, the articles examine experiences of militancy, workers’ and clandestine press, political commemoration, social movements, working-class culture, popular justice, and processes of politicization.

This new issue includes research on the press of the Democratic Party of Chile in the province of Concepción in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; the Matamoros massacre and its commemoration in El Machete during the years in which communism was illegal in Mexico; the experience of the Communist Youth between the social mobilizations of 2011 and the New Majority government; and the role of social movements in Chile’s recent political process and in the cycle of constitutional change opened after the 2019 social uprising.

The issue also includes reviews of recent works that broaden the historiographical dialogue on the global history of communism and the history of childhood in a transatlantic perspective.

We cordially invite you to read and share this new issue of REVUELTAS, available on our platform.
