The Aztlán Outlaw and Black Reform Politics

Chapter 7 takes up the state’s most famous prison hostage crisis to analyze prisoner Fred Carrasco as an Aztlán outlaw who drew on nationalist and Chicano ideologies to critique the prison plantation, while also showing how this moment of carceral violence contrasted with and derailed the hopes of African American political reformers. Carrasco’s hostage crisis also offers a critical historical parallel to Reies Tijerina’s 1967 raid of a New Mexico courthouse to demand land grant rights. This chapter offers Carrasco’s hostage crisis alongside the historical context of Chicano nationalist demands, particularly Reies Tijerina’s 1967 raid of a New Mexico courthouse to demand land grant rights. Both the Alianza courthouse encounter with criminal justice and the Carrasco hostage crisis drew upon a history of violent border confrontation with border police and the Texas Rangers, that stretched across time and borders. This chapter concludes, however, with the prison reality that the Carrasco’s hostage crisis dashed the hopes of Black political reformers at a crucial moment in their legislative campaign.

Reforming the Social Circle

Whistle-Binkie is a collection of poetry and song, continually reissued in different formats and with new content throughout the nineteenth century, which has often been considered to exemplify the problems with popular Scottish Victorian literature. This chapter therefore concentrates on reassessing this key text and demonstrating that it is not purely a sentimental, nostalgic, and conservative selection of verse. The chapter shows how the first edition of Whistle-Binkie was part of the culture of Reform politics, and how its radical bent was toned down in later decades. It uses unpublished manuscript material to discuss the importance of Whistle-Binkie in encouraging working-class poets into print and fostering networks between them. A long concluding session focuses on the Whistle-Binkie spin-off, Songs from the Nursery, and assesses how and why ‘nursery verse’ became so important to Scottish working-class poetics in this period.

La Pasionaria (the Passionate One)

This chapter explores how the organizational work of Mexican-origin people in Depression-era San Antonio reflected a diversity of ideas and strategies. Responses to the challenges of racial discrimination and severe poverty in the city’s Westside ran the gamut from Carolina Munguía’s maternalist and benevolent practices to Emma Tenayuca’s radical reform politics. Tenayuca believed that communism could serve as a means to strengthen labor—by organizing the unemployed so they would have rights. Although Tenayuca married during the height of her political activism, she did not arrange her activities around the mantle of domesticity. As an activist, she turned to the Communist Party and functioned as a worker, not as a mother, which often placed her at odds with gender and class conventions.
