Download or read book Francisco Iturbe coleccionista written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exhibition of the modern and contemporary artworks collected by Francisco Sergio de Yturbe e Idaroff, (b. México 1879-1957). Iturbe Idaroff's art collection was considered opposite to the aesthetic specifications of the Mexican mid-20th century art production, with works by artists not included in the hegemonic canon of the "Mexican Painting School". Despite critics, this was a pioneer collection of avant-garde proposals with close relation to the European art schools that ultimately reflected the modernist and intense intellectual character of the collector. Features works by Abraham Ángel, Maradonio Magaña, Manuel Rodriguez Lozano, José Clemente Orozco, Eugene Delacroix, Pablo Picasso, and Diego Rivera, among numerous others. Includes biographical and analytical essays by Ana Garduño, María Luisa Novelo, Diana Briuolo Destfano and Beatriz Zamorano Navarro. With an historical chronology.

Download or read book Changing Course in Latin America written by Kenneth M. Roberts and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the impact of economic crises and free-market reforms on party systems and political representation in contemporary Latin America. It explains why some patterns of market reform align and stabilize party systems, whereas other patterns of reform leave party systems vulnerable to widespread social protest and electoral instability. In contrast to other works on the topic, this book accounts for both the institutionalization and the breakdown of party systems, and it explains why Latin America turned to the Left politically in the aftermath of the market-reform process. Ultimately, it explains why this "left turn" was more radical in some countries than others and why it had such varied effects on national party systems.

Download or read book National Narratives in Mexico written by Enrique Florescano and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If history is written by the victors, then as the rulers of a nation change, so too does the history. Mexico has had many distinct periods of history, demonstrating clearly that the tale changes with the writer. In National Narratives in Mexico, Enrique Florescano examines each historical vision of Mexico as it was interpreted in its own time, revealing the influences of national or ethnic identity, culture, and evolving concepts of history and national memory. Florescano shows how the image of Mexico today is deeply rooted in ideas of past Mexicos—ancient Mexico, colonial Mexico, revolutionary Mexico—and how these ideas can be more fully understood by examining Mexico’s past historians. An awareness of the historian’s cultural perspective helps us to understand which types of evidence would be considered valid in constructing a national narrative. These considerations are important in modern Mexican historiography, as historians begin to question the validity of Mexico’s “collective memory.” Enhanced by more than two hundred drawings, photographs, and maps, National Narratives in Mexico offers a new vision of Mexico’s turbulent history.
