Abstract
This article examines the Mexican diaspora and its binational social and political space as a context for thinking about the three revolts of 2006 by Mexican workers along with others. Case studies of the rise, dynamics, and decline or defeat of these three movements—immigrant rights movement in the U.S., the Oaxaca uprising and commune, and the anti‐electoral fraud movement in Mexico—are presented. The article looks at the binational aspects of each of these revolts and suggests that they may indicate possibilities for the development of continental labor solidarity bridged by the Mexican working class.
