Description: The Cry of the Renegade by Raymond B. Craib Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Twenty four year old Jose Domingo Gomez Rojas died on September 29, 1920, after two months in police custody. Why and how did Gomez Rojas-the "young hope of Chilean poetry," as Pablo Neruda would call him-end up dead in police custody? This book narrates the remarkable lives and political work undertaken by Gomez Rojas and his fellow workers and students in Chile to shed light on the collaboration among students and workers in politics,particularly anarchism, socialism, and Left politics, in Chile and beyond. Publisher Description On October 1, 1920, the city of Santiago, Chile, came to a halt as tens of thousands stopped work and their daily activities to join the funeral procession of José Domingo Gómez Rojas, a 24 year old university student and acclaimed poet. Nicknamed "the firecracker poet" for his incendiary poems, such as "The Cry of the Renegade" Gómez Rojas was a member of the University of Chiles student federation (the FECh) which had come under repeatedattack for its critiques of Chiles political system and ruling parties. Government officials accused the FEChs leaders of being advocates for the destruction of the social order, subversives who had the temerity to questionnational policy making, and insolent youths who did not know their place. Arrested for alleged sedition as part of a five-month-long "prosecution of subversives," Gómez Rojas joined other students and workers in Santiagos prison system. He never left. After two months in police custody, he died in Santiagos asylum, quickly to be reborn as a political martyr for students and workers alike.This microhistory recovers the context within which Gómez Rojassarrest, imprisonment, and death unfolded and the experiences of men he counted as friends, comrades, colleagues, mentors, and pupils. Fifty years before the much-heralded student movements of 1968, Raymond Craib shows,university students and workers were active political collaborators and radicalized political subjects. In interwar Chile, members of Chiles sizeable working class marched side-by-side with students from the FECh. At the same time, increasingly radicalized university students, as well as former students, workers, and worker-intellectuals, gathered together to talk, read, and find common cause. Members of what Craib calls a "capacious Left" they shared a wide-ranging interest in works ofsociology and political theory, a penchant for poetry, and an eclectic embrace of anarchist, socialist, and communist principles and practices. They also shared the experience of repression, an experiencethat ultimately cost Gómez Rojas his life and marked an entire generation of political organizers and agitators, including future president Salvador Allende and poet Pablo Neruda.
