La revolución
Adaptación gráfica de "La Revolución," el capítulo de la "Nueva Historia Mínima de México" escrito por Javier Garciadiego.
The Life and Times of Pancho Villa
Based on archival research, this study of Pancho Villa aims to separate myth from history. It looks at Villa's early life as an outlaw and his emergence as a national leader, and at the special considerations that transformed the state of Chihuahua into a leading centre of revolution.
La Revolución
The 1910 Revolution is still tangibly present in Mexico in the festivals that celebrate its victories, on the monuments to its heroes, and, most important, in the stories and memories of the Mexican people. Yet there has never been general agreement on what the revolution meant, what its objectives were, and whether they have been accomplished. This pathfinding book shows how Mexicans from 1910 through the 1950s interpreted the revolution, tried to make sense of it, and, through collective memory, myth-making, and history writing, invented an idea called "la Revolución." In part one, Thomas Benjamin follows the historical development of different and often opposing revolutionary traditions and the state's efforts to forge them into one unified and unifying narrative. In part two, he examines ways of remembering the past and making it relevant to the present through fiestas, monuments, and official history. This research clarifies how the revolution has served to authorize and legitimize political factions and particular regimes to the present day. Beyond the Mexican case, it demonstrates how history is used to serve the needs of the present.
Autores, editoriales, instituciones y libros.
Esta obra, recoge once ensayos cuyo denominador común es el abordaje de pasajes de la historia intelectual del siglo XX mexicano. Por sus páginas, el lector verá transitar a multitud de intelectuales, desde Justo Sierra y Ezequiel Chávez hasta José Emilio Pacheco, pasando por Félix Palavicini, José Vasconcelos, Martín Luis Guzmán, Daniel Cosío Villegas y Carlos Fuentes, entre muchos más, con una atención especial en Alfonso Reyes y en la presencia de los intelectuales españoles exiliados en nuestro país a partir de finales de los años treinta. Su lectura llevará también al lector a seguir los procesos de construcción de instituciones educativas y culturales como la Secretaría de Educación Pública, La Casa de España y El Colegio de México, así como al recuerdo de gestas culturales ahora legendarias, como las campañas educadoras de Vasconcelos en los años veinte. Algunos inéditos, otros publicados en revistas o como capítulos de libros, estos once textos hoy se presentan juntos con el fin de hacer accesibles unos y rescatar otros.
