Description

Product Description During the first two decades following the Mexican Revolution, children in the country gained unprecedented consideration as viable cultural critics, social actors, and subjects of reform. Not only did they become central to the reform agenda of the revolutionary nationalist government; they were also the beneficiaries of the largest percentage of the national budget. While most historical accounts of postrevolutionary Mexico omit discussion of how children themselves experienced and perceived the sudden onslaught of resources and attention, Elena Jackson Albarrán, in Seen and Heard in Mexico, places children’s voices at the centre of her analysis. Albarrán draws on archived records of children’s experiences in the form of letters, stories, scripts, drawings, interviews, presentations, and homework assignments to explore how Mexican childhood, despite the hopeful visions of revolutionary ideologues, was not a uniform experience set against the monolithic backdrop of cultural nationalism, but rather was varied and uneven. Moving children from the aesthetic to the political realm, Albarrán situates them in their rightful place at the centre of Mexico’s revolutionary narrative by examining the avenues through which children contributed to ideas about citizenship and nation. Review "[Seen and Heard in Mexico] skillfully weaves together a variety of complex and significant threads while keeping at its center the important topic of the construction of childhood as a central component of postrevolutionary citizenship and nationalism."--John Lear, professor of history at the University of Puget Sound and author of Workers, Neighbors, and Citizens: The Revolution in Mexico City-- (3/3/2014 12:00:00 AM)"Seen and Heard in Mexico is an engaging, well-researched, and well-argued contribution to our understanding of the role children played in the post-revolutionary Mexican state and identity formation."--Nichole Sanders, American Historical Review"This excellent book will inform many future studies related to Mexican history and identity, education, immigration, and international relations."--Susan V. Meyers, Hispanic American Historical Review"Thoroughly researched, insightful, and accessible."--Ella Dixon, Journal of Iberian and Latin American Research-- (11/15/2015 12:00:00 AM) About the Author Elena Jackson Albarrán is an assistant professor in the history department and the Latin American, Latino/a, and Caribbean Studies Program at Miami University, USA.
