Summary Annotation "Mexico's 1910 Revolution engendered a vast range of responses: from novels and autobiographies to political cartoons, feature ïulms and placards. In the light of the centennial commemorations, contributors to this original collection evaluate the cultural legacy of this landmark event in a series of engaging essays. Imagining the Mexican Revolution is a rich resource for those interested in ways in which literary and visual culture mediate our understandings of this complex historical phenomenon." - Professor Andrea Noble, Durham University "This collection of essays by leading and emerging Mexicanists is a distinct and welcome contribution that enhances public and academic understanding of Mexico's rich revolutionary heritage. It makes available some of the most cutting-edge thinking from the ïueld of Mexican cultural studies on the literary and visual representations produced over a period of one hundred years in Mexico and in other countries." - Dr Chris Harris, University of Liverpool "In fascinating detail, the essays of this landmark book examine the complexity of the post-revolutionary years in Mexico. But the ïundings also have applications for other cultures of the world where ideologies of fascism and socialism have competed and media manipulation has existed. Among the volume's many excellent features are its illustrations." - Professor Emeritus Nancy Vogeley, University of San Francisco
