El culto a Juárez: La construcción retórica del héroe (1872-1976)
Rebeca Villalobos Álvarez's El culto a Juárez is a lucid, innovative, and closely reasoned analysis of the rhetoric around the figure of Benito Juárez during the century after his death. Three extensive chapters cover the history of the cult, a rhetorical analysis of its elements, and an exploration of the “sublime” in two artistic representations. Informed by a deep reading of visual culture, Villalobos Álvarez's work goes beyond the manipulatio…
Emily Wakild. Revolutionary Parks: Conservation, Social Justice, and Mexico's National Parks, 1910-1940
Emily Wakild's book is an interesting contribution to the slowly emerging body of literature on the environmental history of the Mexican Revolution. Despite the dates in the subtitle, its temporal focus is squarely on the administration of Lázaro Cárdenas (1934–1940), during which period Mexico rapidly became a world leader in the creation of national parks. Since that fact challenges a narrative that credits “wealthy, white, urban actors” (p. 7)…
Sons of the Sierra: Juárez, Díaz, and the People of Ixtlán, Oaxaca, 1855 - 1920
Patrick McNamara’s Sons of the Sierra examines the engagement of the Zapotecs of Oaxaca’s Sierra Juárez in national politics with an eye to explaining “not why the [Porfirian] regime fell in 1911, but why it lasted as long as it did” (p. 11). Based on this case study, the author argues that Díaz’s power was constructed from below, and that rural villagers, identifying with the regime’s imagery and paternalism, supported him through much of his lo…
Zapata Lives! Histories and Cultural Politics in Southern Mexico
Zapata Lives! is an anthropological account of the “nation-views” of four Mexican communities: Santa María del Tule and Unión Zapata in the central valleys of Oaxaca and Guadalupe Tepeyac and La Realidad in the jungle of eastern Chiapas. Lynn Stephen contends that the divergent perceptions of the nation that she encountered “are concretely tied to regional and historical differences in long-term relationships among communities, individuals in tho…
Vicios públicos, virtudes privadas: La corrupción en México
According to Claudio Lomnitz, the goal of this volume, the product of a 1995 conference, is to “‘desnaturalizar’ (o sea de-historizar) la categoría misma de la corrupción y el papel social de prácticas corruptas específicas” (p. 7). It largely achieves that goal, demonstrating convincingly the constructed nature of its topic. It is not, however, the book spanning the history of corruption in Mexico that one might hope for: only three essays (by S…

Remembering Emiliano Zapata: Three Moments in the Posthumous Career of the Martyr of Chinameca
Emiliano Zapata is one of the most significant figures in Mexican history. In early I9II he and a small group of campesinos from the south-central state of Morelos joined a broader rebellion against the regime of long-time president Porfirio Diaz. They fought to stop haciendas from continuing to infringe on the land and water rights of peasant communities in their state and to recover resources that had already been lost. They fought, too, for lo…

Emiliano Zapata: Revolution and Betrayal in Mexico
The Dynamics of Domination: State, Class, and Social Reform in Mexico, 1910-1990
"Masterfully discusses concept of 'pact of domination' and provides basis for an analysis of contemporary history, organized by periods: 1910-40, 1940-70, and 1970-92. Argues that Mexico has avoided violent forms of social conflict resolution, not because of the strength of the State, but because the State's weaknesses have forced it to respond to pressures from below"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.. - http://www.loc.gov/hlas
