Book Description

Durham, North Carolina, U.S.A.: Duke Univ Press, 2001. No Edition. Soft Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket. Photographs. During the 20th century the Mexican government invested in the creation and promotion of a national culture more aggressively than any other state in the western hemisphere. This book provides a comprehensive cultural history of the vibrant, post-1940 Mexico that emerged. In understanding this period of Mexican history, the volume's contributors weigh in on a wealth of topics from music, tourism, television and sports to theater, unions art, and magazines. Each essay in its own way addresses the fragmentation of a cultural consensus that prevailed during the "golden age" of post-revolutionary prosperity, a time when the state was still successfully bolstering its power with narratives of modernization and shared community. This is a marvelous book! 505 pages; the top and bottom front corners are a bit worn. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
