The Messy History of Mexican Cultural Nationalism. Review of Mary Kay Vaughan and Stephen E. Lewis' (eds) <em>The Eagle and the Virgin: Nation and Cultural Revolution in Mexico, 1920-1940</em> (Durham: Duke University Press, 2006)
Resumen
This anthology examines cultural nationalists attempting to produce a national style of art, architects re-imagining the urban space of Mexico City, nationalist musical traditions inscribed through performance and recording, educators trying to bring modern sensibilities to the countryside, and rural Mexico transformed through the imperatives of road-building and expanded markets. The latter—that is, the market—plays a much more critical role in this text than has been the case in most studies of this era.
