Autobiographical Writings on Mexico
This is the definitive bibliography of autobiographical writings on Mexico. The book incorporates works by Mexicans and foreigners, with authors ranging from disinherited peasants, women, servants and revolutionaries to more famous painters, writers, singers, journalists and politicians. Primary sources of historic and artistic value, the writings listed provide multiple perspectives on Mexico's past and give clues to a national Mexican identity. This work presents 1,850 entries, including autobiographies, memoirs, collections of letters, diaries, oral autobiographies, interviews, and autobiographical novels and essays. Over 1,500 entries list works from native-born Mexicans written between 1691 and 2003. Entries include basic bibliographical data, genre, author's life dates, narrative dates, available translations into English, and annotation. The bibliography is indexed by author, title and subject, and appendices provide a chronological listing of works and a list of selected outstanding autobiographies.

Como puede verse al estudiar el expediente, Roberto no estuvo en el lugar de los hechos. Su juicio duró escasamente tres meses y fue sentenciado a veintitrés años. Un mes después, en otro juzgado, otra persona, Alberto Hernández Rodríguez, recibió una sentencia de treintaiún años por el mismo delito y se dejó abierta la averiguación para cuando se capturara a Roberto a quien se...
