Mraz, J: Photographing The Mexican Revo Commitments, Testimonies, Icons

"John Mraz is undoubtedly the world expert on Mexican photography. His careful exploration of the archives has led him to unearth photographs of almost every single chapter of the Mexican Revolution: from the rise of Madero to the presidency of Alvaro Obregon. Together, these photos - almost 200 in total - provide the most ambitious - and most historically accurate - iconographic representation of the Mexican Revolution." Ruben Gallo, Director, Program in Latin American Studies, Princeton University, and author of Mexican Modernity: The Avant-Garde and the Technological Revolution "Mraz and his editor at the University of Texas Press have produced a highly readable and lavishly illustrated book, perfect for a broad range of readers. With this book, advanced undergraduates will get an aesthetically rich and authoritatively narrated introduction to the Mexican Revolution, and graduate students will engage with the thinking of a pathbreaking historian of visual culture."--Kevin Coleman, University of Toronto, Hispanic American Historical Review
