Through his newspaper \u003ci\u003eRegeneraci n\u003c\/i\u003e, he boldly criticized the injustices of the country's military dictatorship and worked to build the popular movement that eventually overthrew it. Exiled to the United States, Flores Mag n continued to agitate for revolution in Mexico. Transcending nationalism, he also dreamed of a world free from all forms of injustice. Both the US and Mexican governments responded with harsh repression. Leavenworth Penitentiary ultimately murdered him in 1922.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume collects the first English translations of Flores Mag n's most important writings.
