FLORES MAGON GUZMAN, David. The Decline of a Rebel: the Final Years of Ricardo Flores Magón. Secuencia [online]. 2018, n.102, pp.127-158. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i102.1478.

I describe the reason why Ricardo Flores Magón was imprisoned in 1918, the struggle for political prisoners undertaken by organizations, unions, and comrades from the United States and Mexico for his release, the process of Ricardo’s illness, his last years of letter writing at Leavenworth Prison in Kansas City and the cathartic moment triggering the “crisis” between various political actors, when his death was announced on November 21, 1922. The importance of my study lies in the use of unpublished research sources, the point of view of Flores Magón and the analysis of the events leading up to his funeral before he was transferred to Mexico City in 1923.

Palabras llave : cultural history; representation; disease; death; Ricardo Flores Magón.
