Abstract
We offer a transnational take on the racialized erotics of social mobilizations of the sixties, foregrounding Mexico as the quintessential example of the threat that social miscegenation posed to the undergirding tenants of modernization, the then-dominant framing of global political economy. Woven throughout are examples of iconic sixties imagery to foreground the importance of socio-cultural analysis for understanding why radical sixties movements so deeply threatened the geo-political economy of the period.
