Pursuing the Socialist Revolution in Mexico. Insurgent Subjectivities and Transnational Sociabilities in the People's Revolutionary Movement

The article examines from a transnational perspective the period in which the insurgent subjectivities of Raúl Ugalde Álvarez and the brothers Ana María and Víctor Rico Galán made key decisions when configuring the People’s Revolutionary Movement (MRP, 1964—1966), whose purpose was the seizure of power in Mexico by means of weapons. Therefore, the revolutionary ideas encouraged by the contacts and transnational links established by its revolutionary leadership are explored. In the political subjectivation of the organization, the full conviction that victory would be achieved, similar to the epic of the Cuban Revolution, constantly emerged. The theoretical and methodological instruments from the political history of the left and gender interrelations offer me the possibility of delineating characters with charisma, leadership and agency in their links within their own organization, as well as in their sociopolitical practices and representations, which entails the formulation of its leftist ethos, strongly connected to the Latin American scenario of the New Left.
