This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. FIGHTING FOR THE JUARISTS. A First military engagement must be an exciting affair to any young soldier, more especially to one so keen, not only in his profession, but also in the cause for which he was fighting. Diaz was a soldier at heart and a Republican in feeling, so to win a fight, even a small one, for his side was intoxicating joy. General Diaz, in the passages from his diary quoted in the last chapter, refers to the dictatorial, retrograde politics of Santa Anna. His words, however, give but a slight indication of a movement that had a most momentous influence upon Mexico. The Plan of Ayutla was one of those numerous uprisings that foretold the approach of the War of Reform, by which the powerful Church Party was overthrown?the greatest of Mexico's civil conflicts. It did not actually break out until 1857, but quite ten years earlier one detects the commencement of the struggle in the national mind. Mexico, impoverished by her troubles with the United States, divided against herself, and devastated by the incessant fighting between political factions, was a country with no credit among nations, and torn by civil turmoil at home. Banditti abounded; murder was an ordinary occurrence; property was never safe, and yet more often than not, offenders escaped unpunished because they were connected in some way with ecclesiastical bodies, and under the aegis of the Church the criminal stood beyond the reach of civil jurisdiction. In this deplorable state of affairs, no man appeared who Porfirio Diaz. Phaiu by It.iVEI.L.J A village chnrcb. i, ff 39. was strong enough to grapple with the demoralisation of the nation, and the abuses and overbearing opposition of the Clericals to any movement towards national progress.

Book Made in Mexico

    Book Details:
  • Author : Susan M. Gauss
  • Publisher : Penn State Press
  • Release : 2015-09-10
  • ISBN : 0271074450
  • Pages : 189 pages

Download or read book Made in Mexico written by Susan M. Gauss and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-09-10 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The experiment with neoliberal market-oriented economic policy in Latin America, popularly known as the Washington Consensus, has run its course. With left-wing and populist regimes now in power in many countries, there is much debate about what direction economic policy should be taking, and there are those who believe that state-led development might be worth trying again. Susan Gauss’s study of the process by which Mexico transformed from a largely agrarian society into an urban, industrialized one in the two decades following the end of the Revolution is especially timely and may have lessons to offer to policy makers today. The image of a strong, centralized corporatist state led by the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) from the 1940s conceals what was actually a prolonged, messy process of debate and negotiation among the postrevolutionary state, labor, and regionally based industrial elites to define the nationalist project. Made in Mexico focuses on the distinctive nature of what happened in the four regions studied in detail: Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey, and Puebla. It shows how industrialism enabled recalcitrant elites to maintain a regionally grounded preserve of local authority outside of formal ruling-party institutions, balancing the tensions among centralization, consolidation of growth, and Mexico’s deep legacies of regional authority.

Book Technology and the Search for Progress in Modern Mexico

Download or read book Technology and the Search for Progress in Modern Mexico written by Edward Beatty and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late nineteenth century, Mexican citizens quickly adopted new technologies imported from abroad to sew cloth, manufacture glass bottles, refine minerals, and provide many goods and services. Rapid technological change supported economic growth and also brought cultural change and social dislocation. Drawing on three detailed case studies—the sewing machine, a glass bottle–blowing factory, and the cyanide process for gold and silver refining—Edward Beatty explores a central paradox of economic growth in nineteenth-century Mexico: while Mexicans made significant efforts to integrate new machines and products, difficulties in assimilating the skills required to use emerging technologies resulted in a persistent dependence on international expertise.

Book The Aztecs at Independence

Download or read book The Aztecs at Independence written by Miriam Melton-Villanueva and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ethnohistory uses colonial-era native-language texts written by Nahuas to construct history from the indigenous point of view. The book offers the first internal ethnographic view of central Mexican indigenous communities in the critical time of independence, when modern Mexican Spanish developed its unique character, founded on indigenous concepts of space, time, and grammar. The Aztecs at Independence opens a window into the cultural life of writers, leaders, and worshippers--Nahua women and men in the midst of creating a vibrant community.

Book Looking for Mexico

    Book Details:
  • Author : John Mraz
  • Publisher : Duke University Press
  • Release : 2009-06-15
  • ISBN : 0822392208
  • Pages : 360 pages

Download or read book Looking for Mexico written by John Mraz and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-15 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Looking for Mexico, a leading historian of visual culture, John Mraz, provides a panoramic view of Mexico’s modern visual culture from the U.S. invasion of 1847 to the present. Along the way, he illuminates the powerful role of photographs, films, illustrated magazines, and image-filled history books in the construction of national identity, showing how Mexicans have both made themselves and been made with the webs of significance spun by modern media. Central to Mraz’s book is photography, which was distributed widely throughout Mexico in the form of cartes-de-visite, postcards, and illustrated magazines. Mraz analyzes the work of a broad range of photographers, including Guillermo Kahlo, Winfield Scott, Hugo Brehme, Agustín Víctor Casasola, Tina Modotti, Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Héctor García, Pedro Meyer, and the New Photojournalists. He also examines representations of Mexico’s past in the country’s influential picture histories: popular, large-format, multivolume series replete with thousands of photographs and an assortment of texts. Turning to film, Mraz compares portrayals of the Mexican Revolution by Fernando de Fuentes to the later movies of Emilio Fernández and Gabriel Figueroa. He considers major stars of Golden Age cinema as gender archetypes for mexicanidad, juxtaposing the charros (hacienda cowboys) embodied by Pedro Infante, Pedro Armendáriz, and Jorge Negrete with the effacing women: the mother, Indian, and shrew as played by Sara García, Dolores del Río, and María Félix. Mraz also analyzes the leading comedians of the Mexican screen, representations of the 1968 student revolt, and depictions of Frida Kahlo in films made by Paul Leduc and Julie Taymor. Filled with more than fifty illustrations, Looking for Mexico is an exuberant plunge into Mexico’s national identity, its visual culture, and the connections between the two.
