With a cast ranging from Pancho Villa to Dolores del Río and Tina Modotti, Constructing the Image of the Mexican Revolution demonstrates the crucial role played by Mexican and foreign visual artists in revolutionizing Mexico's twentieth-century national iconography. Investigating the convergence of cinema, photography, painting, and other graphic arts in this process, Zuzana Pick illuminates how the Mexican Revolution's timeline (1910–1917) corresponds with the emergence of media culture and modernity. Drawing on twelve foundational films from Que Viva Mexico! (1931–1932) to And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself (2003), Pick proposes that cinematic images reflect the image repertoire produced during the revolution, often playing on existing nationalist themes or on folkloric motifs designed for export. Ultimately illustrating the ways in which modernism reinvented existing signifiers of national identity, Constructing the Image of the Mexican Revolution unites historicity, aesthetics, and narrative to enrich our understanding of Mexicanidad.

La investigación se apoya en el archivo judicial de la rica alcaldía mayor de Villa Alta, donde cerca de un centenar de pueblos producía mantas y grana. Entre estas comunidades, la de Yasona - hoy Yatzona - permanece casi desconocida en la documentación antes de 1674 y después de 1707. Pero en ese corto periodo se manifiesta toda una serie de tensiones en lo interno y en lo regional. Los principales nobles (caciques) de Yasona toman la cabeza de dos bandos y manipulan formas rudimentarias de democracia, en pro y en contra de las tradiciones, de la Iglesia, de la autoridad del alcalde mayor. Desde Yasona intentan confederar la oposición política e integran la audiencia de México en su juego con el mecanismo de las reales provisiones. Con la tragedia de Cajonos en 1700, todo queda sesgado y Yasona se reincorpora en la pax hispanica… Durante un breve lapso este grupo humano vive tiempos difíciles ; el pueblo oculta sus prácticas religiosas, las elites se enfrentan y contaminan con sus luchas toda la provincia, las familias se desgarran, las mujeres a veces expresan un estoicismo digno de Sénéca.

At the turn of the twenty-first century, with the amount of money emigrants sent home soaring to new highs, governments around the world began searching for ways to capitalize on emigration for economic growth, and they looked to nations that already had policies in place. Morocco and Mexico featured prominently as sources of "best practices" in this area, with tailor-made financial instruments that brought migrants into the banking system, captured remittances for national development projects, fostered partnerships with emigrants for infrastructure design and provision, hosted transnational forums for development planning, and emboldened cross-border political lobbies. In Creative State, Natasha Iskander chronicles how these innovative policies emerged and evolved over forty years. She reveals that the Moroccan and Mexican policies emulated as models of excellence were not initially devised to link emigration to development, but rather were deployed to strengthen both governments' domestic hold on power. The process of policy design, however, was so iterative and improvisational that neither the governments nor their migrant constituencies ever predicted, much less intended, the ways the new initiatives would gradually but fundamentally redefine nationhood, development, and citizenship. Morocco's and Mexico's experiences with migration and development policy demonstrate that far from being a prosaic institution resistant to change, the state can be a remarkable site of creativity, an essential but often overlooked component of good governance.
