Forging a Gender Path in Modern Mexican History
In 1975, Richard Graham asked me to give a paper on Mexican women at the Southwestern Social Science Association meeting. Surely, he asked me only because he thought that as a woman I would know something about women—I am sure that was my only qualification in his mind. Thankfully, he also asked Dawn Keremitsis, who had done work on Mexican women workers. Fortunately, I had included in my 1973 dissertation a chapter on women's vocational educatio…
El cine y la movilidad: De Oaxaca a la ciudad de México con los Zuñiga, padre e hijo, 1920-1970
Si entre 1940 y 1980 el ascenso social en la Ciudad de México se atribuye a las oportunidades educativas y al empleo, también desempeñaron un papel significativo los medios masivos de comunicación. Este artículo se refiere a las experiencias cinematográficas de dos hombres, José Zúñiga Heredia (n. 1914-1985), un sastre que emigró de Oaxaca a la Ciudad de México en 1939, y su hijo Pepe (n. 1937) quien llegó a ser estudiante, profesor, y director (…
Searching for Madre Matiana: Prophecy and Popular Culture in Modern Mexico
In his history of the use of Madre Matiana, a likely fictional prophet who lived in the late colonial period, Edward Wright-Rios has given us a highly nuanced and transcendent interpretation of Mexican culture that is necessary reading for Mexicanists and to which this short review cannot do justice.Wright-Rios first provides an interpretation of colonial Catholic femininity informed by medieval and baroque beliefs and practices. While women are …
Portrait of a Young Painter: Pepe Zuniga and Mexico City's Rebel Generation
In May 1970, when the United States bombed Cambodia, students at the University of Wisconsin went wild with angry frustration.At a huge meeting on the terrace of the student union, dozens proposed different measures we might take after years of fruitless protest.One compañera rose to her feet and announced that the students of Northwestern University had announced their secession from the Union and declared their campus a free republic.That night…

The Eagle and the Virgin: Nation and Cultural Revolution in Mexico, 1920–1940
When the fighting of the Mexican Revolution died down in 1920, the national government faced the daunting task of building a cohesive nation. It had to establish control over a disparate and needy population and prepare the country for global economic competition. As part of this effort, the government enlisted the energy of artists and intellectuals in cultivating a distinctly Mexican identity. It devised a project for the incorporation of indig…

Women School Teachers in the Mexican Revolution: The Story of Reyna's Braids
Women School Teachers in the Mexican Revolution: The Story of Reynas Braids Mary Kay Vaughan The Mexican Revolution of 1910 was reputedly not a revolution for women: women did not vote in national elections until 1958, they were marginalized from industrial work, discriminated against in divorce cases, and told that domesticity and motherhood constituted their citizenship.1 Yet this revolution opened a field for creativity and self-realization fo…
Primary Education and Literacy in Nineteenth-Century Mexico: Research Trends, 1968-1988
Mexico as a nation has endowed education with magical meaning. From the moment when twelve Franciscans set foot in the New World in 1524 to evangelize, education assumed a transforming mission in Mexico. If schooling during the colonial period slumped into the less grandiose task of transmitting relatively fixed values and knowledge to new generations, it resumed its transforming role with the Enlightenment. Under the Bourbon kings, the first ste…

Education and Class in the Mexican Revolution
This paper treats Mexican primary school policy between 1890 and 1930 and argues that in this period, school programs were designed primarily to mold a labor force equipped with skills and attitudes appropriate to the modernization process and values and beliefs legitimizing bourgeois rule. Mexico differed from other countries (e.g., the United States and European nations) with similarly defined goals for two principal reasons. On the one hand, a…
