Unintended Lessons of Revolution
The long political history of the rural normales (teacher training institutions) has been dominated by recent manifestations of student teachers depicted in acts of flagrant resistance to the state and then further obfuscated by the outsize repressive state violence enacted in retaliation. Tanalís Padilla's unparalleled study of the rural normales, spanning the twentieth century, makes revelatory observations about the fraught relationship betwee…
Infancia y la política cultural del desarrollo en el Día Panamericano, 1930-1948
(analytical)This article takes a critical look at the construction of Latin American childhood imagined from the vantage point of the United States through the cultural politics of Pan Americanism. It analyzes children's participation in the celebrations of Pan American Day (April 14) as a political-cultural project of the Pan American Union. Through cultural historical analysis of primary sources, the article argues that children gained politica…
La Raza Cosmética
In 2001, Mexico's Ministry of Tourism designated a handful of towns as “Pueblos Mágicos,” in a bid to bolster cultural tourism premised on nostalgia for the beauty of timeless folkloric villages. The reader fortunate enough to take up Natasha Varner's La Raza Cosmética: Beauty, Identity, and Settler Colonialism in Postrevolutionary Mexico will appreciate that state agencies and officials have long established the parameters of Mexican beauty, whe…
The Power and Politics of Art in Postrevolutionary Mexico
Most scholars of Mexico have at minimum a passing knowledge of artists as official culture makers embroiled in the politics of revolutionary state building. This book delves into that heady artistic milieu, with its epicenter in Mexico City, and in particular into the nature of individual affiliations with the Mexican Communist Party (PCM). Stephanie Smith tactfully resists indulging in gossipy rumors of romantic trysts between and among Frida, D…
Deco Body, Deco City
Anyone who has strolled the lush curves of Mexico City's Condesa neighborhood might subconsciously have internalized the way that its striking art deco architecture echoed the stylized figures of contemporary female performers: both featured spare, machinelike, elongated forms that came to mark the city's landscape and visual culture by the 1930s. In this evocative book, Ageeth Sluis draws together the seemingly distinct revolutionary discourses …
Seen and Heard in Mexico
During the first two decades following the Mexican Revolution, children in the country gained unprecedented consideration as viable cultural critics, social actors, and subjects of reform. Not only did they become central to the reform agenda of the revolutionary nationalist government; they were also the beneficiaries of the largest percentage of the national budget. While most historical accounts of postrevolutionary Mexico omit discussion of h…
Seen and Heard in Mexico
An examination of the Mexican government's use of children to advance their state-formation goals following the Mexican Revolution, and the experience of children during this campaign
En busca de la voz de los herederos de la Revolución. Un análisis de los documentos producidos por los niños, 1921-1940
El objetivo de este artículo es identificar y describir algunas ventajas y problemas asociados con el uso de documentos históricos producidos por los niños durante los años posrevolucionarios en México. La historia de la niñez siempre ha estado sujeta a las interpretaciones de los adultos y, generalmente, lo que sabemos de su pasado viene a través de documentos provenientes de las instituciones de bienestar, las agencias gubernamentales, los maes…
Comino Vence al Diablo and Other Terrifying Episodes
Ahush fell over the gathering of fidgety kindergarteners on a May morning in 1934 in an Ixtapalapa schoolyard, as stage curtains drew apart to reveal an animated stereotypically black hand puppet ( El Negrito ) laboriously hauling firewood back and forth at the behest of his patrón . El Negrito complained about his plight, and the children's eyes widened with terror, reflecting the fear demonstrated by the puppet when the patrón threatened the ar…
