Chorba\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Mexico, the confluence of the 1992 Quincentennial commemoration of Columbus's voyages and the neo-liberal \u003ci\u003esexenio\u003c\/i\u003e, or presidency, of Carlos Salinas de Gortari spurred artistic creations that capture the decade like no other source does. In the 1990s, Mexican artists produced an inordinate number of works that revise and rewrite the events of the sixteenth-century conquest and colonization. These works and their relationship to, indeed their mirroring of, the intellectual and cultural atmosphere in Mexico during the Salinas presidency are of paramount importance if we are to understand the subtle but deep shifts within Mexico's national identity that took place at the end of the last century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Throughout the twentieth century, the post-revolutionary Mexican State had used \u003ci\u003emestizaje\u003c\/i\u003e as a symbol of national unity and social integration. By the end of the millennium, however, Mexico had gone from a PRI-dominated, economically protectionist nation to a more democratic, economically globalizing one. More importantly, the homogenizing, mestizophile national identity that pervaded Mexico throughout the past century had given way to official admission of Mexico's ethnic and linguistic diversity--or 'pluriculture' according to President Salinas's 1992 constitutional revision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book is the first interdisciplinary study of literary, cinematic, and graphic images of Mexican national identity in the 1980s and '90s. Discussing, in depth, writings, films, and cartoons from a vast array of contemporary sources, Carrie C. Chorba creates a social history of this important shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 254\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 9.92 x 7.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 29, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52618731061555,"sku":"9780826515391","price":78.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/b1hwa29iWUgxVTBJVzNVY1JGb2ZJUT09.webp?v=1761908280","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/mexico-from-mestizo-to-multicultural-national-identity-and-recent-representations-of-the-conquest-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
