" Revolution in the Sheets is one of the most original analyses of twentieth-century Mexican politics to come out in years."--Renata Keller, Associate Professor of History, University of Nevada, Reno " Revolution in the Sheets provides us with a new framework for understanding sexual politics among the Mexican Left. Well-written and thoughtfully conceived, Robert Franco's book makes a major contribution to the history of the Mexican Revolution as well as to the history of sexuality. I highly recommend it."--Robert F. Alegre, President, New England Council of Latin American Studies "A provocative exploration of the strategic uses of tolerance that have infused cultural and party politics, and of the price paid, both individually and organizationally, for same-sex desire and expressions of bodily autonomy."--Susie S. Porter, Professor of History and Ethnic, Gender, and Disability Studies, University of Utah " Revolution in the Sheets is nothing less than a critical history of the Mexican Left.

The contemporary struggles against gender violence have a history in the stubborn belief, explored by Franco, that the promise of democracy long included sexual liberation and the rights of all bodies."--Pablo Piccato, Professor of History, Columbia University.
