Description

Sheppard explores Mexico’s profound political, social, and economic changes in the course of the lens of the persistent political power of Mexican revolutionary nationalism. By examining the major events and transformations in Mexico since 1968, he shows how historical myths such as the Mexican Revolution, Benito Juárez, and Emiliano Zapata in addition to Catholic nationalism emerged all over historical-commemoration ceremonies, in popular social and anti-neoliberal protest movements, and in debates between commentators, politicians, and intellectuals. Sheppard provides a new working out of developments in Mexico since 1968 by placing these events of their historical context.

The work further contributes to understandings of nationalism more most often by showing how revolutionary nationalism in Mexico functioned all over a process of state dismantling somewhat than state building, and it shows how nationalism could serve as a powerful tool for non-elites to challenge the actions of the ones in power or to justify new citizenship rights in addition to for elites in search of to verify political stability.
