The Last Good Neighbor
With The Last Good Neighbor Eric Zolov considers Mexican foreign policy at the broadest level during the “global sixties.” The book begins in 1958 with a push to reclaim geopolitical relevance and a “resurrection” of Lázaro Cárdenas. The ensuing seven chapters examine a foreign policy aimed at diminishing US power by diversifying global relationships, a foreign policy forged within and with influence over domestic politics that rose under Adolfo …

Introduction. The Paradoxes of Revolution
Thoughts on Citizenship in Latin America, with Particular Reference to Mexico
This essay analyzes citizenship in Latin America, providing both comparative context and a schema for the phenomenon in Mexico. It identifies a region-wide “century of citizenship” that ran from the rise of liberal regimes in the 1850s to the eclipse of populist government in the 1960s, using concepts from historical sociology to discuss the common outlines of citizenship and the extent to which they apply or fail to apply to Mexican history. Key…
Culture and Revolution
“Culture did not provide the revolution with a nation because the revolution wanted one, but simply because the revolution revealed itself as an almost pure wanting”; “It was the function of the void to elicit an entity able to satiate its own vacuums through the expediency of cultural intervention” (pp. 15, 20).Disclaiming relevant specialization when a book baffles may be defeatist, but Culture and Revolution frequently baffled this historian. …
The Man Who Wrote Pancho Villa
Most Mexicanists know Martín Luis Guzmán as author of one of the revolution's canonical novels, La sombra del caudillo (1929), and one of its canonical memoirs, El águila y la serpiente (1928). Fewer may realize just how central Guzmán was to the revolutionary party's cultural management: chummy with presidents from Lázaro Cárdenas to Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, leading light of the Academia Mexicana de la Lengua, owner of a publishing house and Librería…

Mexican history has a reputation for paradox: the paradox of revolution, or the paradox of postrevolutionary inequality. Less noted is the scholarly conundrum that, despite a vast historiography and a strong demand, …

Ambiguous Missionaries
This article analyses the role of rural teachers in state formation in Guerrero, from revolutionary reconstruction through Cardenista reform projects to the dawn of the postrevolutionary political system. It examines the ideological construction of the maestro rural as a reformist opponent of caciques and the poverty they were held to perpetuate; traces the cacical practices of many teachers in Guerrero; and questions teachers' efficacy as agents…
The Emperor of Ixcateopan
This article analyses the forgery and discovery of the purported tomb of Cuauhtémoc, the last Mexica emperor. An eclectic collection of contemporary sources outlines a subtle interplay between elites, cultural managers and peasants, who alternately collaborated and competed in manipulating the would-be invention. Groups traditionally undervalued in studies of nationalism, namely villagers and petty bureaucrats, went far beyond the mimesis of elit…
