Historia mínima del teatro en México
México es una nación con un pasado escénico extenso y diverso, sometido a los avatares de factores políticos y sociales y, sobre todo, a mutaciones en los estilos y en las dinámicas de la vida artística. En tanto actividad creativa que involucra la participación de artistas de diversa índole, en esta obra se siguen las huellas del teatro a través de tres dimensiones: la historia de los actores, de las compañías teatrales y de la actuación; la de los dramaturgos, los directores y sus obras; y la de los espacios teatrales y de la escenografía. Toda esta riqueza se ha sintetizado con el propósito de presentar un panorama general del teatro que el lector podrá disfrutar. “Ésta es una historia que merecía contarse”, se apunta al final de este libro; y, en efecto, ha sido contada con erudición y elegancia para beneficio de todos los interesados en el pasado lejano y reciente del teatro mexicano.

Uncivil Wars
The first English-language book to place the works of Elena Garro (1916–1998) and Octavio Paz (1914–1998) in dialogue with each other, Uncivil Wars evokes the lives of two celebrated literary figures who wrote about many of the same experiences and contributed to the formation of Mexican national identity but were judged quite differently, primarily because of gender. While Paz’s privileged, prize-winning legacy has endured worldwide, Garro’s literary gifts garnered no international prizes and received less attention in Latin American literary circles. Restoring a dual perspective on these two dynamic writers and their world, Uncivil Wars chronicles a collective memory of wars that s...
