Description
Book SynopsisThe third in a series of books examining the
pronunciamiento, this collection addresses the complicated legacy of
pronunciamientos and their place in Mexican political culture. The essays explore the sacralization and legitimization of these revolts and of their leaders in the nation's history and consider why these celebrations proved ultimately ineffective.
