Book excerpt: This book is a richly detailed examination of social interaction in the city of Chihuahua, a major silver mining center of colonial Mexico. Founded at the beginning of the eighteenth century, the city attracted people from all over New Spain, all summoned "by the voices of the mines of Chihuahua."

Several hundred Spaniards, principally from Northern Spain, also arrived, hoping to make their fortunes in the New World.
Download or read book Postcards from the Chihuahua Border written by Daniel D. Arreola and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just a trolley ride from El Paso, Ciudad Juárez was a popular destination in the early 1900s. Enticing and exciting, tourists descended on this and other Mexican border towns to browse curio shops, dine and dance, attend bullfights, and perhaps escape Prohibition America. In Postcards from the Chihuahua Border Daniel D. Arreola captures the exhilaration of places in time, taking us back to Mexico’s northern border towns of Cuidad Juárez, Ojinaga, and Palomas in the early twentieth century. Drawing on more than three decades of archival work, Arreola uses postcards and maps to unveil the history of these towns along west Texas’s and New Mexico’s southern borders. Postcards offer a special kind of visual evidence. Arreola’s collection of imagery and commentary about them shows us singular places, enriching our understandings of history and the history of change in Chihuahua. No one postcard tells the entire story. But image after image offers a collected view and insight into changing perceptions. Arreola’s geography of place looks both inward and outward. We see what tourists see, while at the same time gaining insight about what postcard photographers and postcard publishers wanted to be seen and perceived about these border communities. Postcards from the Chihuahua Border is a colorful and dynamic visual history. It invites the reader to time travel, to revisit another era—the first half of the last century—when these border towns were framed and made popular through picture postcards.

Download or read book Persistent Oligarchs written by Mark Wasserman and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did the Mexican Revolution do away with the ruling class of the old regime? Did a new ruling class rise to take the old one's place--and if so, what differences resulted? In this compelling study, the first of its kind, Mark Wasserman pursues these questions through an analysis of the history and politics of the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua from 1910 to 1940. Chihuahua boasted one of the strongest pre-revolutionary elite networks, the Terrazas-Creel family. Wasserman describes this group's efforts to maintain its power after the Revolution, including its use of economic resources and intermarriage to forge partnerships with the new, revolutionary elite. Together, the old and new elites confronted a national government that sought to reestablish centralized control over the states and the masses. Wasserman shows how the revolutionary government and the popular classes, joined in opposition to the challenge of the elites, finally formalized into a national political party during the 1930s. Persistent Oligarchs concludes with an account of the Revolution's ultimate outcome, largely accomplished by 1940: the national government gaining central control over politics, the popular classes obtaining land redistribution and higher wages, and regional elites, old and new, availing themselves of the great opportunities presented by economic development. A complex analysis of revolution as a vehicle for both continuity and change, this work is essential to an understanding of Mexico and Latin America, as well as revolutionary politics and history.

Book excerpt: On August 25, 1974, along the Rio Grande River near the Texas border town of Presidio, a thunderous explosion in the sky shattered the stillness of the warm summer night.

Download or read book Spent Cartridges of Revolution written by Daniel Nugent and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1993-12-15 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens to a revolutionary town after the revolution? This apparently simple question frames Spent Cartridges of Revolution, an anthropological history of Namiquipa, Chihuahua, Mexico. Officially, the revolution of 1910-20 restored control over land and local politics to the peasantry. But Namiquipan peasants, who fought alongside Pancho Villa, have seen little progress and consider themselves mere "spent cartridges" of a struggle that benefited other classes. Daniel Nugent's approach combines an emphasis on peasants' own perceptions of Mexican society after the revolution with an analysis of the organization and formation of state power. He shows that popular discontent in Chihuahua is motivated not only by immediate economic crises but by two centuries of struggle between the people of Northern Mexico and the government.

Download or read book Chile Makes Us Brave written by Rogelio Bolivar and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chispa Bolivar came of age in the Chihuahua neighborhood of Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez, a place filled with passion, love, and violence. Growing up in his colonia in the 1980's and 90's, Chispa becomes a rooster fighter and a construction worker in order to help support his parents and propel himself to fame in the surrounding neighborhoods. In this collection of lively stories, Chispa paints a picture of his neighborhood and the people in it: fellow gang members, criminals, women trying to survive without husbands and parents, and children who fight and stand by each other in order to survive. With humor and the truth of life's tough realities, Chispa proves that even though his neighborhood is rough, the values of strength and resilience that he learns from his parents sustain him so that he can go to school, learn and become a young inventor. Throughout the memoir, Chispa's American dream lives in the back of his mind. He watches the older guys in his neighborhood return from the U.S. with their fancy clothes and cars and wants what they have. Chile Makes Us Brave chronicles the life of a boy living in a poor neighborhood. It details how a boy can be reflective and learn from his mistakes and the mistakes of others. The stories are sometimes serious, sometimes sad, and sometimes funny. They will make you realize that life in Mexico, although difficult, can be full of richness and love. When under pressure, Chispa often remembers the words of his brothers, his father, and his God to pull him through. He also counts on his friends and his family to stand up for him in difficult times, but in some very crucial moments he exists on his own. These moments are often the ones that test his character the most and catapult him from a curious boy into and independent young man ready to take on the world.
