Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 1921, and Francisco Madero is president of Mexico. Just last year he and his top general ousted the long-standing president (some say dictator), Porfirio Diaz, who is now in exile. But the country is far from stable. A basic cultural rift between the elite and the poor portends unrest and a sequence of revolts. Students are assigned to play characters that are charged with stabilizing their country and preventing further civil war. The goal is to reform Mexico and make it a better nation for all of its inhabitants—but Mexicans and foreigners worry that without a firm hand, Mexico's governance might spiral out of control. At what cost will progress come?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An excellent account and analysis of the Mexican Revolution, its background, its course, and its legacy . . . an important contribution [and] a must read!” (Samuel Farber, author of Cuba Since the Revolution of 1959). The most significant event in modern Mexican history, the Mexican Revolution of 1910-20 remains a subject of debate and controversy. Why did it happen? What makes it distinctive? Was it even a revolution at all? In The Mexican Revolution, Stuart Easterling offers a concise chronicle of events from the fall of the longstanding Díaz regime to Gen. Obregón’s ascent to the presidency. In a comprehensible style, aimed at students and general readers, Easterling sorts through the revolution’s many internal conflicts, and asks whether or not its leaders achieved their goals.

Book Synopsis Álvaro Obregón by : Linda Biesele Hall
Download or read book Álvaro Obregón written by Linda Biesele Hall and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 1981 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mexican Revolution produced some romantic and heroic figures. In Mexico at the time, however, one man loomed large as the embodiment of revolutionary goals and the one leader able to take the country from strife into peace. That man was Alvaro Obregón. Less well-known to North Americans than his contemporaries and sometime allies Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa, Obregón eventually formed the first stable government of post-revolutionary Mexico. Stories of his daring and near-invincibility abounded as he led revolutionary forces against the usurper Huerta, then against the "bandit" elements within the Revolution itself. Throughout the period of fighting, however, Obregón was shrewdly building coalitions of support and espousing concrete programs that would allow him to institutionalize power when the fighting ended. This political and social study of Obregón's rise to power, based on extensive archival research and interviews with revolutionary participants, provides an important perspective not only on the Revolution itself but also on its consolidation in the hands of an extraordinary leader. Students of Mexican history will find the book indispensable; others will find it a fascinating story of a man, a people, and how they lay the bases of peace in the midst of war.

MEXICO'S OMINOUS SILENCE THE Mexican capital is a city of gloom. In daytime, under a dazzling sun and a sky of deep blue, it has movement and animation. Besides, pretty women, with great deep eyes and golden complexions, are going about the streets. But when the night shuts down Mexico City resumes its mood of somber melancholy. This quality of sadness and loneliness is only intensified by the brilliant lighting of the streets. Some ancient towns seem to shake off their habitual gloom when, after sunset, they are shrouded in romantic semi-darkness. But Mexico is one of the best lighted cities in the world. New York may surpass it in its Great White Way with its electrical advertisements, but the majority of New York streets are pitch dark as compared with those of the Mexican capital. Electricity costs very little there. It cornea from a waterfall of enormous horse power that lights all the cities of the Mexican plateau and drives the machinery in the factories and mines. That is why the street lighting of Mexico City is the best in the world. Every twentyfive feet there is an iron column with five large globes. The streets blaze like a conflagration. The lamps seem to meet a few yards ahead of you, shutting you in between two narrowing walls of fire. The Night Lonesomeness And underneath all this splendor, as intense as the brightness of noontime--solitude, nothing, emptiness, made more acutely noticeable by the occasional appearance of some passer-by. In this city of brightness the afterdinner problem of any one unable to go to a theater is something maddening. "What can I do? Where can I go?" I used to go for a walk every night along the principal avenue of the city, wincing under the blinding glare. Before long I came to know by...
Book Synopsis Mexican Revolution: The Constitutionalist Years by : Charles C. Cumberland
Download or read book Mexican Revolution: The Constitutionalist Years written by Charles C. Cumberland and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The seven years with which this book concerns itself . . . must be thoroughly examined if one is to have a grasp of modern Mexican history.” —Military History of Texas and the Southwest The years 1913-1920 were the most critical years of the Mexican Revolution. This study of the period, a sequel to the author’s Mexican Revolution: Genesis under Madero, traces Mexico’s course through the anguish of civil war to the establishment of a tenuous new government, the codification of revolutionary aspirations in a remarkable constitution, and the emergence of an activist leadership determined to propel Mexico into the select company of developed nations. The narrative begins with Huerta’s overthrow of Madero in 1913 and the rise of Carranza’s Constitutionalist counterchallenge. It concludes with a summary of Carranza’s stormy term as constitutional president climaxed by his ouster and overthrow in a revolt spearheaded by Alvaro Obregón. Basing his study on a wide range of Mexican and US primary sources as well as pertinent secondary studies, Cumberland brings a mature and sophisticated analysis to his material; the result is a major contribution to the understanding of one of the twentieth century’s most significant revolutionary movements.

Book Synopsis The Purposes and Ideals of the Mexican Revolution by : Hon Luis Cabrera
Download or read book The Purposes and Ideals of the Mexican Revolution written by Hon Luis Cabrera and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dramatically, in front of an audience drawn from the American Academy of Political and Social Science and the Pennsylvania Arbitration and Peace Society, on Friday evening, November 10, 1916, Cabrera, Bonillas, Pani and Rojo gave addresses regarding the Mexican Revolution. The speeches were made during the height of the conflict, which lasted from 1910 until 1920. Since World War I was also raging, less attention was given to the Mexican Revolution. However, the Mexican Revolution radically transformed Mexico, after it had been under the rule of Porfirio Diaz for 35 years. The elected replacements, President Francisco I. Madero, and Vice President Pino Suarez, were assassinated after they were forced to resign in 1913. This particular little-known document offers a helpful perspective on the conflict and plans for an ideal future of Mexico by people who were in the thick of the fight for change. This edition is dedicated to Professor David Mena, longtime dedicated teacher and scholar in Mexico, and no stranger to the United States and Europe.
