{"product_id":"9781849353144","title":"I am Action: Literary and Combat Articles, Thoughts, and Revolutionary Chronicles","description":"“Without vacillation, I can say that Praxedis was the most pure, most intelligent, and most selfless man—the bravest when it came to the cause of the dispos­sessed.” \u003cb\u003e—Ricardo Flores Magón\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003ePraxedis G. Guerrero was born into a wealthy family in Guanajuato, Mexico, in 1882. While still a young man, he renounced his inheritance, claiming that he would rather earn his meals through manual labor than secure them by exploiting his fellow human beings. Within less than a decade, he was a central figure in the transnational revolutionary network established by the Organizational Council of the Mexican Liberal Party (PLM), which was dedicated to deposing the dictator Porfirio Díaz and promoting anar­chist revolution throughout Mexico. He was killed in battle at the age of twenty-eight in 1910.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGuerrero was also one of the most prolific and talented revolutionary writ­ers of his era, penning numerous articles that were known for both their literary style and their polemical force. In this volume, editor and translator Javier Sethness-Castro has collected a wide range of Guerrero’s work for the newspapers \u003ci\u003eRevolucíon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePunto Rojo\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eRegeneracíon\u003c\/i\u003e, most of them appear­ing for the first time in English. This edition also includes a biographical introduction and helpful annotations throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AK PR INC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46351424094449,"sku":"9781849353144","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781849353144_p0.jpg?v=1765384942","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781849353144","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
