Abstract

Writing in El Grito del Norte, Enriqueta Longeaux y Vásquez connects the forging of an egalitarian future society and citizenry to the new revolutionary political consciousness emerging across the world at the close of the 1960s. She turns to revolutionary Cuba, in particular, to identify the basis for this radical consciousness and the new world it will create. The anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist politics of the Chicano Movement are revealed in the rich radicalism of the New Mexico–based newspaper El Grito del Norte. The newspaper played a pivotal role in recasting the local and ethno-nationalist politics of the Chicano Movement as a crucial part of the international struggle for revolutionary change. However, El Grito del Norte did much more than simply internationalize the views of El Movimiento: it helped to impart an anti-imperialist tone and character to Chicana/o radicalism.
