Summary:

"The Mexican Revolution lives on in literature, film, song, and popular culture. An enduring part of the cultural memory of Mexican and Mexican American communities, the revolution has shaped--and continues to be shaped by--later generations' experiences and conceptions of history. This volume offers instructors a variety of vantage points for teaching the revolution, including the role of women as family protectors and soldiers, petroculture, the heroization of famous revolutionary figures, and contemporaneous corridos. Essays introduce students to comparative approaches framed by concepts of colonialism and borders. Several essays center the perspectives and experiences of Mexican American, Chicanx, and borderland communities, attending especially to remembrance and to the literary and cultural afterlives of the revolution"-- Provided by publisher.
