Mexico City: Editorial Logos, 1962.

A writer and activist, Revueltas was active in the Mexican Communist Party from the 20's until 1943 when he was expelled for criticism of its bureaucracy. He later founded Liga Espartaquista (Spartacist League) and the Partido Popular Socialista (Popular Socialist Party, or PPS), from which he was also later expelled. He was imprisoned numerous times, the earliest at age 15, and was accused of being the "intellectual author" of the Student Movement of 1968. He wrote Ensayo sobre un proletariado sin cabeza after his second expulsion from the Communist Party, and with it offered one of the strongest critiques and analyses of the left in Mexico. Possibly signed to educator and writer Luis Alvarez Barret, though we have not been able to pin this down conclusively.
