Prof. Raymond Craib

Professor of History, Cornell University.

Prof. Craib’s talk will focus on his current research on the “proceso de los subversivos” in Santiago, Chile in 1920. This persecution of subversives targeted presumed pacifists, anarchists, and members of the IWW, with university students, workers, immigrants, and Peruvian nationals all coming under increased scrutiny in the wake of the Chilean mobilizations on the Peruvian border.

Prof. Raymond Craib is Professor of History at Cornell University where he researches and teaches on the modern histories of Mexico and Chile. His first book, Cartographic Mexico: A History of State Fixations and Fugitive Landscapes (Duke, 2004) examined the cartographic routines (exploration, surveying, and mapping that helped forge the Mexican State in the 19^th and 20^th centuries.
