Retrieved from https://prism.ucalgary.ca. doi:10.11575/PRISM/3260http://hdl.handle.net/1880/104261Bibliography: p. 327-344This is a study about the refashioning of human beings and culture in Hispanic America, from 1910-1935. These attempts were motivated by a spiritualized confluence of esoteric and revolutionary concepts as they intersected with the race idea. We examine the worldviews of three twentieth-century, radical Latin American revolutionary figures: Jose Vasconcelos (1882-1959) of Mexico, Victor Raul Haya de la Torre (1895-1979) of Peru, and Augusto Sandino (1895-1934) of Nicaragua. They crafted comprehensive, world-transformative plans for a perfected humanity out of racialist speculations based on esoteric beliefs. All three revolutionaries believed in the supremacy of the Latin American race, and that it was destined to play a pivotal role in the impending cosmic transformations. The analysis demonstrates that their universalist revolutionary rhetoric masked a narrow element of racial identity, and that the visions and goals of their racialist spiritualities possessed a millenarian character.xxv, 344 leaves ; 30 cm.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
