by Thomas Benjamin
University of Texas Press, 2000
Throughouht 2010, Mexic-Arte Museum is celebrating the Centennial of the Mexican Revolution, in addition to the Bicentennial of Independence!
This pathfinding book shows how Mexicans from 1910 through the 1950s interpreted the revolution, tried to make sense of it, and, through collective memory, myth-making, and history writing, invented an idea called "la Revolución." Benjamin’s research clarifies how the revolution has served to authorize and legitimize political factions and particular regimes to the present day. Beyond the Mexican case, it demonstrates how history is used to serve the needs of the present. |
