Book Description
File of typescript documents by Esteban Cantú as governor of Baja California, mostly relating to the Magonistas and similar matters in the Mexican-American border region in 1911. An Oct. 2, 1911 document from Cantú to General Manuel Gordillo Escudero relates to the organization of a small force that would patrol the shores of the Colorado River. A Nov. 6, 1911 letter from Cantú provides news about armed men in Calexico, and suspicious characters coming into Baja California from Los Angeles, California; states that filibusters are not known in Baja California, though some may be present on the U.S. side. A Nov. 9, 1911 letter signed by Cantú reports on the fruitless efforts to discover armed filibusters hiding in Calexico and the Imperial Valley; the informant Guillermo Benton, could not be located. A Nov. 29, 1911 letter by Cantú states that he will use coded messages for future communications of a sensitive nature. In December 1911 Cantú writes five letters to Coronel Francisco Vazquez on the situation in Mexicali, making mention of a potential armed invasion of Baja California by an enemy sheltered in the United States. One earlier document, dated Feb. 28, 1905, and signed by David Zarate, relates to the appointment of a district judge.

Book Description
Outfoxing all other military and political personnel in the territory of Baja California Norte, Colonel Esteban Cantú, on becoming governor, astutely played the leaders of the Mexican Revolution one against another. A compelling figure in the Mexican Revolution, he maintained his independence from Mexico City until he was forced from office in August 1920. While Cantú was appointed governor by Venustiano Carranza, Pancho Villa, and Eulalio Gutierrez of the Convention Government, he followed their orders only when it suited him and published the laws of the government in Mexico City to give the appearance that he was loyal to the central power when in fact he was not. He was more concerned with neighboring Sonora and supported every anti-central government movement in that state to secure his own independence. When he gained power, Cantú faced an indescribable morass of crime and immorality in Tijuana and Mexicali: white slavery and prostitution; opium dens; cocaine, morphine, and heroin dealers; and gambling halls, saloons, and dives of all descriptions. Governor Cantú either licensed many of these or became connected to them in some other way, personally profiting from such activities but also employing much of this revenue to create the territory’s first reliable infrastructure. This engaging account reveals the complexity of the Mexican Revolution, with a cast of characters that includes officers and officials of the Porfirian regime, revolutionaries and counterrevolutionaries, US investors, crackpots, German spies, Japanese schemers, Chinese workers, and purveyors of every sort of vice.

Book Description
The available material in English discussing Latin American anarchism tends to be fragmentary, country-specific, or focused on single individuals. This new translation of Ángel Cappelletti's wide-ranging, country-by-country historical overview of anarchism's social and political achievements in fourteen Latin American nations is the first book-length regional history ever published in English. With a foreword by the translator. Ángel J. Cappelletti (1927–1995) was an Argentinian philosopher who taught at Simon Bolivar University in Venezuela. He is the author of over forty works primarily investigating philosophy and anarchism. Gabriel Palmer-Fernandez is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Youngstown State University.
