The individual in the ‘Cartorial State’

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  05 February 2009

Extract

A selection of recent books from and about Mexico is, as ever, likely to be very varied. The works considered here might seem at first sight to have little enough in common. Yet behind them all lies the great debate that has gone on in Mexico since 1968 about the meaning of the past, present and future of the Mexican Revolution.
