De l'histoire du Mexique, le public connaît les grandes figures et les hauts lieux dont se sont emparés la littérature et le cinéma : les chasseurs aux armes de bois et de pierre qui ornent les sites olmèques ; des noms - Mayas, Toltèques, Aztèques - qui sonnent comme des promesses de voyage dans le temps ; l'aventure du conquérant Cortés ou celle de Juárez qui mit fin aux rêves de Maximilien et de Napoléon III ; les exploits de PAncho Villa ou d'Emiliano Zapata et jusqu'à l'étrange Christiade, cette croisade de l'intérieur, superbement mise en scène par Graham Greene dans "La Puissance et la Gloire".

Since the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1920, Mexico's rebellious peasant has become a subject not only of history but of literature, film, and paintings. With his sombrero, his machete, and his rifle, he marches or rides through countless Hollywood or Mexican films, killing brutal overseers, hacienda owners, corrupt officials, and federal soldiers. Some of Mexico's greatest painters, such as Diego Rivera, have portrayed him as one of the motive forces of Mexican history. Was this in fact the case? Or are we dealing with a legend forged in the aftermath of the Revolution and applied to the Revolution itself and to earlier periods of Mexican history? This is one of the main questions discussed by the international group of scholars whose work is gathered in this volume. They address the subject of agrarian revolts in Mexico from the pre-Columbian period through the twentieth century. The volume offers a unique perspective not only on Mexican riots, rebellions, and revolutions through time but also on Mexican social movements in contrast to those in the rest of Latin America.The contributors to the volume are Ulises Beltran, Raymond Buve, John Coatsworth, Romana Falcon, John M. Hart, Evelyn Hu-DeHart, Friedrich Katz, William K. Meyers, Enrique Montalvo Ortega, Herbert J. Nickel, Leticia Reina, William Taylor, Hans Werner Tobler, John Tutino, Arturo Warman, and Eric Van Young.Originally published in 1988.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
