ABSTRACT

How were solidarity campaigns transnationally organized and locally performed? To answer this question, this paper examines anti-imperialist solidarity campaigns and their role in the politics of Mexico City in the 1920s. The paper analyzes two political movements: the campaign against the conviction of the Italian-American anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti in the United States and the campaign in solidarity with rebel general Augusto César Sandino who fought against US troops in his native Nicaragua. Transnational solidarity campaigns, it is argued, were an important link between local radical activism and global movements as solidarity had to be performed locally and envisioned globally. Demonstrations, economic boycotts, and public fundraising campaigns were means to perform solidarity in the city, linking local activism to the global anti-imperialist movement. With the example of activism in Mexico City in the post-revolutionary 1920s, this paper analyzes performative and ideological change over time and how the asymmetric potential of localization and globalization affect transnational solidarity campaigns.

摘要

团结运动是如何跨国组织和在当地进行的？为了回答这个问题，本文考察了反帝国主义团结运动及其在 1920 年代墨西哥城政治中的作用。该论文分析了两个政治运动：反对在美国对意大利裔美国无政府主义者萨科和万泽蒂定罪的运动，以及声援在家乡尼加拉瓜与美军作战的反叛将军奥古斯托·塞萨尔·桑地诺的运动。有人认为，跨国团结运动是当地激进激进主义和全球运动之间的重要联系，因为团结必须在当地进行并在全球范围内进行。示威、经济抵制和公共筹款活动是在城市中进行团结的手段，将地方激进主义与全球反帝国主义运动联系起来。本文以革命后 1920 年代墨西哥城的激进主义为例，分析了表演和意识形态随时间的变化，以及本地化和全球化的不对称潜力如何影响跨国团结运动。
