Chicago, Illinois – Charles H. Kerr Co. to Publish Barbarous Mexico
From International Socialist Review of November 1910:
Details:
Barbarous Mexico
Under this title the American Magazine began last year an exposure of the horrible slavery now existing in Mexico. Five articles by John Kenneth Turner full of astounding revelations were published in five successive months, and more were promised. Then without warning the publication of these articles was stopped.
Mr. Turner attempted to find a capitalist publisher to bring his facts before the American people. But every door was closed to him. Whether by direct bribery or by indirect influence, Diaz and the American capitalists whose interests he serves control nearly every important channel of publicity in the United States.
But they do not control our co-operative publishing house. It is controlled by over two thousand Socialist workers, and we have undertaken to publish to the world the facts which John Kenneth Turner has unearthed and which Diaz and his friends are trying to suppress.
Barbarous Mexico, which we expect to publish November 25, will contain with some revision the articles which appeared in the American Magazine. It will also contain eleven new chapters:
The Country Peons and the City Poor.
The Diaz System.
Repressive Elements of the Diaz Machine.
The Crushing of Opposition Parties.
The Eighth Unanimous Election of President Diaz.
Four Mexican Strikes.
Critics and Corroboration.
The Diaz-American Press Conspiracy.
The American Partners of Diaz.
American Persecution of the Enemies of Diaz.
Diaz Himself.
The Mexican People.There will also be sixteen pages of engravings from photographs, most of them taken by the author during a prolonged tour of Mexico made for the purpose of learning the whole truth about that unhappy country. The book will be printed on extra book paper, handsomely bound in cloth with gold stamping, and the price upon publication will be $ 1.50. But as our capital is limited we find it necessary to raise money AT ONCE to meet our payments to the author and the printers. We will therefore send the book postpaid for one dollar if the money is sent before publication. Better write today. You will be more than pleased with the book. Address
Charles H. Kerr & Company, 118 West Kinzie St., Chicago
