The war against idols: The meanings of iconoclasm in revolutionary Mexico, 1910–40
Comentario: 1810-1910-2010: Conmemoración E Historiografía
Mexican Revolutionary Anticlericalism: Concepts and Typologies
In recent years, an impressive effort has been made to supersede established interpretations of religious conflict in revolutionary Mexico that dismissed religious motivations as superstructural derivatives of “true” socio-economic and political factors. This has been accomplished by— pardon the cliché—“bringing religion back in” to the study of the Mexican Revolution. Yet while our post-secular understanding of Mexican religions and their impact…
Surviving Mexico's Dirty War: A Political Prisoner's Memoir
Since the demise of its “perfect dictatorship,” Mexico has struggled to come to grips with the dark underside of the “Mexican miracle,” especially the brutal government suppression of dissident movements during the 1960s and 1970s. While much has been written about the Tlatelolco massacre, less is known of the government’s dirty war against leftist guerrilla movements. One has only to browse the endless list of desaparecidos attached to the draft…
Saints, Sinners, and State Formation: Local Religion and Cultural Revolution in Mexico
Juan Soldado: Rapist, Murderer, Martyr, Saint
In this highly captivating book, Paul Vanderwood meticulously analyzes the cult of Juan Soldado, a widely venerated Mexican folk saint not acknowledged by the church. What makes this case so fascinating is the fact that the devotion emerged around the figure of Juan Castillo Morales, a young soldier convicted of the rape and murder of eight-year-old Olga Camacho and publicly executed by a firing squad in Tijuana in 1938. How is it possible that t…
Ein Laboratorium der Revolution: Städtische soziale Bewegungen und radikale Reformpolitik im mexikanischen Bundesstaat Veracruz, 1918-1932
Recent research on urban social movements in cities such as Mexico City, Monterrey, and Veracruz has deepened our understanding of the Mexican Revolution and, in some cases, even challenged agrarianist interpretations. German historian Benedikt Behrens makes an important contribution to the literature with this exhaustive study of urban movements and radical reform in the state of Veracruz between 1918 and 1932. Originally a University of Hannove…
Fragments of a Golden Age: The Politics of Culture in Mexico since 1940
Many historians would cringe at the thought of attempting to rewrite the history of U.S. postwar political culture by focusing on, say, Hulk Hogan, Fritz the Cat, and Social Distortion. This is essentially what the contributors to this volume propose for the case of postrevolutionary Mexico. The editors ambitiously describe this collection as “the first real attempt to relate issues of representation and meaning to questions of power in a history…
The Life and Times of Pancho Villa
Alongside Moctezuma and Benito Juarez, Pancho Villa is probably the best-known figure in Mexican history. Villa legends pervade not only Mexico but the United States and beyond, existing not only in the popular mind and tradition but in ballads and movies. There are legends of Villa the Robin Hood, Villa the womanizer, and Villa as the only foreigner who has attacked the mainland of the United States since the War of 1812 and gotten away with it.…
Revolution in the Street: Women, Workers, and Urban Protest in Veracruz 1870-1927
As if Jesus Walked on Earth: Cardenismo, Sonora, and the Mexican Revolution
Idolatry and Iconoclasm in Revolutionary Mexico: The De-Christianization Campaigns, 1929-1940
Este ensayo analiza la llamada campaña desfanatizante de los años trienta desde la perspectiva del Estado revolucionario. Su objetivo era la creación de "gente nueva" y de una religión civil revolucionaria. Sin embargo, este intento violento fracasó por la resistencia tenaz de los católicos mexicanos
