Book excerpt: En México, así como en América Latina, la historia de los movimientos de protesta de los años 1960 y 1970 consagró la figura del estudiante revolucionario. A pesar de ello, el estudiante en situación revolucionaria no ha sido el objeto de estudio sino de muy pocos análisis. De manera provocativa, este libro propone una nueva lectura de la Revolución Mexicana, de 1910 a mediados de los años 1940, a través de los movimientos y organizaciones estudiantiles. Defiende la idea de que la Revolución favoreció el surgimiento de un movimiento estudiantil fuerte y perenne, organizado a escala nacional y activo a nivel internacional. Desde su creación, el movimiento estudiantil -que no se limitaba a las universidades sino que englobaba también a los alumnos de las escuelas normales y técnicas- luchó por la reforma de la educación. Se apropió la idea revolucionaria y su programa nacionalista, social y antiimperialista. Mediante las primeras relaciones internacionales estudiantiles, los jóvenes mexicanos se volvieron propagandistas de la Revolución y defensores de la "Raza iberoamericana" tanto en América Latina como en España. "Este libro nos permite capturar el fantasma de la clase estudiantil y quitarle el velo. Mediante una investigación que combina instituciones, ideas, contextos y prácticas, Robinet reconstruye un periodo decisivo en la historia de los movimientos estudiantiles mexicanos, cuando el radicalismo estudiantil acompañaba todavía el impulso revolucionario del gobierno" (Pablo Piccato).

This book was released on 2010-02-09 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En esta obra póstuma, Carlos Monsiváis, con su estilo y erudición únicos, recorre un siglo de la vida cultural de México, si bien, como él mismo confiesa, ésta es una tarea inacabable a la que además se suma la brevedad de la obra, que le obliga a cerrar su crónica en la década de 1980, dejando fuera los movimientos y creadores de los dos últimos decenios del siglo XX. Su recorrido parte de la época del modernismo y pasa por todas las manifestaciones culturales que se desarrollan a lo largo de las siguientes décadas, como la narrativa de la Revolución, el muralismo, la cultura en los años veinte, los Contemporáneos, la poesía de la generación del 50 hasta llegar al año de la ruptura que representa 1968 y las manifestaciones culturales que de él se desprenden.

Download or read book Disappearances in Mexico written by Silvana Mandolessi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-01-27 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents an interdisciplinary analysis of the practice of disappearances in Mexico, from the period of the so-called ‘dirty war’ to the current crisis of disappearances associated with the country’s ‘war on drugs’, during which more than 80,000 people have disappeared. The volume brings together contributions by distinguished scholars from Mexico, Argentina and Europe, who focus their chapters on four broad axes of enquiry. In Part I, chapters examine the phenomenon of disappearances in its historical and present-day forms, and the struggles for memory around the disappeared in Mexico with reference to Argentina. Part II addresses the political dimensions of disappearances, focusing on the specificities that this practice acquires in the context of the counterinsurgency struggle of the 1970s and the so-called ‘war on drugs’. The third section situates the issue within the framework of human rights law by examining the conceptual and legal aspects of disappearances. The final chapters explore the social movement of the relatives of the disappeared, showing how their search for disappeared loved ones involves bodily and affective experiences as well as knowledge production. The volume thus aims to further our understanding of the crisis of disappearances in Mexico without, however, losing sight of the historic origins of the phenomenon.

Download or read book M xico Beyond 1968 written by Jaime M. Pensado and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: México Beyond 1968 examines the revolutionary organizing and state repression that characterized Mexico during the 1960s and 1970s. The massacre of students in Mexico City in October 1968 is often considered the defining moment of this period. The authors in this volume challenge the centrality of that moment by looking at the broader story of struggle and repression across Mexico during this time. México Beyond 1968 complicates traditional narratives of youth radicalism and places urban and rural rebellions within the political context of the nation’s Dirty Wars during this period. The book illustrates how expressions of resistance developed from the ground up in different regions of Mexico, including Chihuahua, Guerrero, Jalisco, Mexico City, Puebla, and Nuevo León. Movements in these regions took on a variety of forms, including militant strikes, land invasions, cross-country marches, independent forums, popular organizing, and urban and rural guerrilla uprisings. México Beyond 1968 brings together leading scholars of Mexican studies today. They share their original research from Mexican archives partially opened after 2000 and now closed again to scholars, and they offer analysis of this rich primary source material, including interviews, political manifestos, newspapers, and human rights reports. By centering on movements throughout Mexico, México Beyond 1968 underscores the deep-rooted histories of inequality and the frustrations with a regime that monopolized power for decades. It challenges the conception of the Mexican state as “exceptional” and underscores and refocuses the centrality of the 1968 student movement. It brings to light the documents and voices of those who fought repression with revolution and asks us to rethink Mexico’s place in tumultuous times. Contributors: Alexander Aviña Adela Cedillo A. S.

Download or read book The University System and Economic Development in Mexico Since 1929 written by David Lorey and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1993-11-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, Mexican leaders and scholars as well as outside observers have spoken of a Mexican university system in crisis, expressing concern over student political activism and violence, declining quality of instruction and facilities, crowded campuses, and lack of employment for graduates. When the government harshly suppressed a student movement in 1968, world attention focused on the turmoil that was endemic in university life. During the severe economic slump of the 1980s, the fundamental weaknesses of the Mexican economy—its inefficiency and inability to compete in the world—were often attributed to failings of the university system. Using original quantitative data on the graduates of all Mexican universities in a dozen major professional fields since 1929, the author explores the nature of this purported "crisis" by examining a series of questions about the Mexican university system: How have the changing policy priorities of the Mexican government affected the university’s education of professionals? How have the Mexican economy’s needs for professionals shaped the functioning of the university system? Has Mexico trained "enough" professionals? Have they been trained in the "right" fields? Has the university been able to respond to demands for upward mobility through higher education? The author’s detailed analysis reveals a paradox: to the extent that Mexican universities may not be producing the kinds of expertise needed for competing in the new global marketplace, that educational quality has declined gradually over time, and that the university has not contributed much to social mobility, one may indeed speak of a crisis. Yet because the university system has reached its present form in response to demands placed on it be government, the economy, and society, responding pragmatically to circumstances beyond its control, the author concludes that the crisis is not fundamentally a university crisis, but rather one that lies in Mexican economy and society at large.

This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El valor de este libro de Cuauhtémoc Domínguez Nava reside precisamente en llamar la atención, una vez más, sobre la siempre vigente y necesaria reflexión de la significación profunda, y en torno de las múltiples consecuencias, de ese vasto movimiento social que fue la revolución cultural de 1968, en México y en todo el planeta. Porque, como lo subraya desde el inicio nuestro autor, la revolución cultural de 1968 no puede ser adecuadamente comprendida más que si la analizamos y la reubicamos dentro de una perspectiva realmente planetaria, que a la vez que se interrogue por las causas generales mundiales de este fenómeno, sea también capaz de recuperar, con cuidado y detenimiento, las modalidades específicas y las circunstancias concretas que dicha revolución adquiere en cada una de las naciones y lugares en donde se escenifica y hace presente, dentro de ese cuatrienio histórico excepcional que cubren los años de 1966 a 1969.

Download or read book Rebel Mexico written by Jaime M. Pensado and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-17 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2014 Mexican Book Prize In the middle of the twentieth century, a growing tide of student activism in Mexico reached a level that could not be ignored, culminating with the 1968 movement. This book traces the rise, growth, and consequences of Mexico's "student problem" during the long sixties (1956-1971). Historian Jaime M. Pensado closely analyzes student politics and youth culture during this period, as well as reactions to them on the part of competing actors. Examining student unrest and youthful militancy in the forms of sponsored student thuggery (porrismo), provocation, clientelism (charrismo estudiantil), and fun (relajo), Pensado offers insight into larger issues of state formation and resistance. He draws particular attention to the shifting notions of youth in Cold War Mexico and details the impact of the Cuban Revolution in Mexico's universities. In doing so, Pensado demonstrates the ways in which deviating authorities—inside and outside the government—responded differently to student unrest, and provides a compelling explanation for the longevity of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional.

Download or read book 1968 Mexico written by Susana Draper and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing the fiftieth anniversary of the protests, strikes, and violent struggles that formed the political and cultural backdrop of 1968 across Europe, the United States, and Latin America, Susana Draper offers a nuanced perspective of the 1968 movement in Mexico. She challenges the dominant cultural narrative of the movement that has emphasized the importance of the October 2nd Tlatelolco Massacre and the responses of male student leaders. From marginal cinema collectives to women’s cooperative experiments, Draper reveals new archives of revolutionary participation that provide insight into how 1968 and its many afterlives are understood in Mexico and beyond. By giving voice to Mexican Marxist philosophers, political prisoners, and women who participated in the movement, Draper counters the canonical memorialization of 1968 by illustrating how many diverse voices inspired alternative forms of political participation. Given the current rise of social movements around the globe, in 1968 Mexico Draper provides a new framework to understand the events of 1968 in order to rethink the everyday existential, political, and philosophical problems of the present.

Download or read book Challenging Authoritarianism in Mexico written by Fernando Herrera Calderon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-04-23 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cold War in Latin America spawned numerous authoritarian and military regimes in response to the ostensible threat of communism in the Western Hemisphere, and with that, a rigid national security doctrine was exported to Latin America by the United States. Between 1964 and 1985, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uraguay experienced a period of state-sponsored terrorism commonly referred to as the "dirty wars." Thousands of leftists, students, intellectuals, workers, peasants, labor leaders, and innocent civilians were harassed, arrested, tortured, raped, murdered, or 'disappeared.' Many studies have been done about this phenomenon in the other areas of Latin America, but strangely, Mexico's dirty war has been excluded from this particular scholarship. Here for the first time is a sustained look at this period and consideration of the many facets that make up the nearly two decades of the Mexican dirty war. Offering the reader a broad perspective of the period, the case studies in the book present narratives of particular armed revolutionary movements as well as thematic essays on gender, human rights, culture, student radicalism, the Cold War, and the international impact of this state-sponsored terrorism.
