PENSADO LEGLISE, María Patricia. Life Story of a Mexican Leftist Militant. Secuencia [online]. 2013, n.85, pp.91-109. ISSN 2395-8464.

This text proposes a theoretical and methodological reflection on life stories within the conceptual framework of oral history, indicating their contributions to contemporary historical studies. It tells the life story of a Mexican socialist, Adolfo Sánchez Rebolledo, whose praxis has been crucial to understanding the development of leftist policy in México and its intervention in the main social mobilizations that took place during the second half of the 20th century. It also describes the changes and political organizations of the period, from the break with Stalinism, the influence of the Cuban revolution, civil rights movements and protests against the Vietnam War to the reappraisal of formal democracy and the abandonment of party militancy to form part of a social movement. The testimonials that emerge throughout the article were selected and edited from eleven interview sessions with Sánchez Rebolledo during a period of three years (2005-2008).

Palabras llave : Life story; interview; subjectivity; experience; leftist militancy; social movements; political organizations.
