In 1968, Mexico prepared to host the Olympic games amid growing civil unrest. The spectacular sports facilities and urban redevelopment projects built by the government in Mexico City mirrored the countrys rapid but uneven modernization. In the same year, a streetsavvy democratization movement led by students emerged in the city. Throughout the summer, the 68 Movement staged protests underscoring a widespread sense of political disenfranchisement. Just ten days before the Olympics began, nearly three hundred student protestors were massacred by the military in a plaza at the core of a new public housing complex.In spite of institutional denial and censorship, the 1968 massacre remains a touchstone in contemporary Mexican culture thanks to the public memory work of survivors and Mexicos leftist intelligentsia. In this highly original study of the afterlives of the 68 Movement, George F. Flaherty explores how urban spacesmaterial but also literary, photographic, and cinematicbecame an archive of 1968, providing a framework for de facto modes of justice for years to come.
