MORENO ELIZONDO, J. Rodrigo. The 1968 Student-Popular Movement and the Reconfiguration of Left Political Organizations. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2018, vol.63, n.234, pp.239-263. ISSN 0185-1918.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fcpys.2448492xe.2018.234.65555.

This article sets forth a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between the main Left political organizations and the 1986 student-popular movement in México as a turning point. First, beyond instrumental views, we establish the contributions of those organizations to the movement and their empiric participation to understand their direct influence. Secondly, according to the impact of their involvement, we review the main political challenges posited by the movement and how those organizations confronted them in their ensuing political practice. We therefore turn away the view from the guerrilla, since it is viewed as part of the set of leftist political expressions. A line of continuity between the pre- and post-1968 left is drawn by assuming that the phenomenon implied a rearrangement rather than a radical rupture that gave birth to the so called new left. Finally, we consider that such a review of the process may yield some clues to understanding the current Mexican left.
