“…Organizing by the communists in Indigenous zones was difficult and largely unsuccessful, as it played on mistrust of ladinos who peddled suspicious ideas from outside their communities. 16 The Indigenous wager was, if successful, to regain those dispossessed lands that their communities had previously lost from a combination of state repression and elite expropriation. Though it should be said that in this period the interests of mestizo campesinos appeared to coincide with the objectives of the Indigenous insurgency, there was a pronounced and underappreciated racial wedge between the groups that differently colored their long-term goals and visions of political and economic liberation.…”

This article explores the long arc of colonial terror in 1930s El Salvador through the establishing of Race Laws that both expelled and prohibited the migration of visibly African-descended peoples into the country whilst the state embarked on the systematic murdering of indigenous peoples as part of an anti-communist crusade. This essay investigates the effect of the Race Laws and 1932s La Matanza massacre of indigenous bodies through a settler colonial optic focused on the biopolitics of colonial terror as a mode of social control. The piece concludes with a reflection on the efficacy of settler colonialism as an analytic for reevaluating Central American history.

The fight against imperialism and racism was central to the Comintern's political and cultural program of the interwar period. Although the more immediate interests of the Soviet state would come to overshadow such causes, the cultural and political connections forged during this time influenced later forms of organizing. Throughout the interwar period (1918-39), the Soviet Union served as the core location of a newly formed world-system of socialist and communist radicalism. The origin of Latin American Marxism in the work of the Peruvian theorist and political organizer José Carlos Mariátegui, as well as the politically committed literature associated with the interwar communist left in the Andean region of Latin America, shows how literature and theory devoted to the indigenous revolutionary contributed to interwar Marxist debates. The interwar influence of Mariátegui and César Vallejo makes clear the importance of resisting attempts to drive a wedge between the two authors and the broader communist movement at the time.

En este artículo se analiza el trabajo político del suizo Edgar Woog, alias Aldred Stirner, en el movimiento comunista mexicano, como principal emisario de la Comintern durante la década de 1920. A través de un amplio soporte documental de fuentes inéditas, provenientes del Archivo Estatal de Ruso de Historia Social y Política, y otras poco conocidas y estudiadas, se aborda la participación de Stirner en la constitución de las juventudes comunistas a lo largo de 1920, así como su papel para la reestructuración del Partido Comunista de México, y la obtención del reconocimiento por parte de la Comintern, a finales de 1921. En un sentido más general, el trabajo permite cuestionar varios lugares comunes en la historiografía del comunismo, sobre las supuestas relaciones mecánicas y verticales entre la Comintern y los partidos comunistas de América Latina.
