A ustedes les consta
Ustedes, lectores de ese género periodístico y literario, la crónica, son y han sido testigos y en ocasiones y de modo preciso, actrices y actores de una admirable operación informativa y creativa. Los elementos están allí: el don de síntesis, la eficacia descriptiva, la pasión, la ironía, el sentido del detalle. Todo o casi todo está cifrado en este discurso: las nuevas y viejas costumbres, la resistencia y el relajo del pueblo, las variedades del habla y la imaginación, el pesimismo y las esperanzas que se oponen o se integran. En la presente antología de dos siglos de crónica en México, los ejemplos lo reiteran: de Manuel Payno y Guillermo Prieto a Juan Villoro, Magali Tercero, Héctor de Mauleón y Fabrizio Mejía Madrid, una tradición de primer orden se consolida.
The Contemporary Mexican Chronicle
Diverse perspectives on the “chronicle”as a literary genre and socio-cultural practice.
The Mexico City Reader
Mexico City is one of Latin America’s cultural capitals, and one of the most vibrant urban spaces in the world. The Mexico City Reader is an anthology of "Cronicas"—short, hybrid texts that are part literary essay, part urban reportage—about life in the capital. This is not the "City of Palaces" of yesteryear, but the vibrant, chaotic, anarchic urban space of the1980s and 1990s—the city of garbage mafias, necrophiliac artists, and kitschy millionaires. Like the visitor wandering through the city streets, the reader will be constantly surprised by the visions encountered in this mosaic of writings—a textual space brimming with life and crowded with flâneurs, flirtatious students, I...
Creole Subjects in the Colonial Americas
Creolization describes the cultural adaptations that occur when a community moves to a new geographic setting. Exploring the consciousness of peoples defined as "creoles" who moved from the Old World to the New World, this collection of eighteen original essays investigates the creolization of literary forms and genres in the Americas between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. Creole Subjects in the Colonial Americas facilitates a cross-disciplinary, intrahemispheric, and Atlantic comparison of early settlers' colonialism and creole elites' relation to both indigenous peoples and imperial regimes. Contributors explore literatures written in Spanish, Portuguese, and English to identify c...
Mexican Literature
Mexico has a rich literary heritage that extends back over centuries to the Aztec and Mayan civilizations. This major reference work surveys more than five hundred years of Mexican literature from a sociocultural perspective. More than merely a catalog of names and titles, it examines in detail the literary phenomena that constitute Mexico's most significant and original contributions to literature. Recognizing that no one scholar can authoritatively cover so much territory, David William Foster has assembled a group of specialists, some of them younger scholars who write from emerging trends in Latin American and Mexican literary scholarship. The topics they discuss include pre-Columbian in...
Gender and Identity Formation in Contemporary Mexican Literature

Mexico at the World's Fairs
This intriguing study of Mexico's participation in world's fairs from 1889 to 1929 explores Mexico's self-presentation at these fairs as a reflection of the country's drive toward nationalization and a modernized image. Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo contrasts Mexico's presence at the 1889 Paris fair—where its display was the largest and most expensive Mexico has ever mounted—with Mexico's presence after the 1910 Mexican Revolution at fairs in Rio de Janeiro in 1922 and Seville in 1929. Rather than seeing the revolution as a sharp break, Tenorio-Trillo points to important continuities between the pre- and post-revolution periods. He also discusses how, internationally, the character of world's ...
Contemporary Hispanic Poets: Cultural Production in the Global, Digital Age - Student Edition
Note: this is an abridged version of the book with references removed. The complete edition is also available on this website. Poets writing in Spanish by the end of the twentieth century had to contend with globalization as a backdrop for their literary production. They could embrace it, ignore it or potentially re-imagine the role of the poet altogether. This book examines some of the efforts of Spanish-language poets to cope with the globalizing cultural economy of the late twentieth century. This study looks at the similarities and differences in both text and context of poets, some major and some minor, writing in Chile, Mexico, the Mexican-American community and Spain. These poets writ...
