The Rightward Drift of Mexico's Former Revolutionaries
Most of the historical works have suggested that the national abandonment of revolutionary reform was due largely to corruption. This work reveals that often corruption had little to do with it, and rather, old cultural beliefs worked their way to the surface within individuals.
Historia del agrarismo en México
Historia del agrarismo en México recoge la visión de Soto y Gama acerca de los orígenes y evolución de los problemas agrarios del país, así como las posturas al respecto de pensadores, activistas y gobernantes. Obra inédita, escrita a principios de los cuarenta por encargo del secretario de Educación Octavio Véjar Vázquez, inexplicablemente desapareció después de entregarse a su destinatario hasta que Pedro Castro descubrió los manuscritos originales en el archivo de la familia. En ellos se revela una inigualable cultura histórica y legal, y la experiencia personal de Soto y Gama como promotor del agrarismo.
The Posthumous Career of Emiliano Zapata
Before there was Che Guevara, there was Emiliano Zapata, the charismatic revolutionary who left indelible marks on Mexican politics and society. The sequel to Samuel Brunk's 1995 biography of Zapata, The Posthumous Career of Emiliano Zapata traces the power and impact of this ubiquitous, immortalized figure. Mining the massive extant literature on Zapata, supplemented by archival documents and historical newspaper accounts, Brunk explores frameworks of myth and commemoration while responding to key questions regarding the regime that emerged from the Zapatista movement, including whether it was spawned by a genuinely "popular" revolution. Blending a sophisticated analysis of hegemonic systems and nationalism with lively, accessible accounts of ways in which the rebel is continually resurrected decades after his death in a 1919 ambush, Brunk delves into a rich realm of artistic, geographical, militaristic, and ultimately all-encompassing applications of this charismatic icon. Examining all perspectives, from politicized commemorations of Zapata's death to popular stories and corridos, The Posthumous Career of Emiliano Zapata is an eloquent, engaging portrait of a legend incarnate.
Waking the Dictator
Waking the Dictator is a study of federalism in late nineteenth century Veracruz State. It is also a politico-military analysis and an evaluation of social-revolutionary relations in the epoch of the Porfiriato and the Mexican Revolution. This study is the first modern, comprehensive, and analytical history of the Porfiriato and Mexican Revolution in Veracruz.
Emiliano Zapata!
This clearly written and carefully argued narrative presents a less mythical and more human Zapata against the dramatic and chaotic background of the Mexican Revolution.
Forsaken Harvest
This historical monograph examines the decline of the hacienda estates within Jalisco, Mexico, during the early decades of the twentieth century. The book also explores the impact of the land reform program of President Lázaro Cárdenas in transforming the agrarian economic structure of the region. This study contributes to an ongoing lively debate about the hacienda system and the meaning of Cárdenas’s reforms. This is an important work because it explores the evolution of a regional socioeconomic system that promoted urban industrial growth at the expense of the rural poor. The model of regional development described is applicable to other areas of Mexico and underdeveloped Third World nations with extensive peasant populations. The research for this investigation has wider implications regarding issues of global hunger and malnutrition.
