HIS 3137 The Mexican Revolution
The Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) was the foundational event in modern Mexican history. This seminar explores the causal factors, the revolutionary process and the legacy of this momentous event through the transformations that occurred in labor, politics, gender, sexuality, and ethnic and cultural relationships as expressed in literature and art. In addition, diverse interpretations of the revolution have emerged over the years. This course therefore will examine these transitions in historical analysis as well as the circumstances that have fueled debates about the changing meaning of Mexico's revolution.
