Meet the migrant rebels who sparked the Mexican Revolution

A little-known pair of newspaper owners helped fuel the Mexican Revolution — and they set up shop here in America. Kelly Lytle Hernandez, Thomas E. Lifka Endowed Chair in History at UCLA, joins guest host John McCaa to discuss the Magónistas – brothers who fought for anarchy against the Mexican dictator Porfirio Díaz – and the very wealthy U.S. business owners they angered along the way. Her book is “Bad Mexicans: Race, Empire, and Revolution in the Borderlands.”
