Everyday Forms of State Formation – Revolution and the Negotiation of Rule in Modern Mexico de Gilbert M. Joseph

Everyday Forms of State Formation – Revolution and the Negotiation of Rule in Modern Mexico

Autor Gilbert M. Joseph, Daniel Nugent
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 iun 1994
Everyday Forms of State Formation is the first book to systematically examine the relationship between popular cultures and state formation in revolutionary and post-revolutionary Mexico. While most accounts have emphasized either the role of peasants and peasant rebellions or that of state formation in Mexico’s past, these original essays reveal the state’s day-to-day engagement with grassroots society by examining popular cultures and forms of the state simultaneously and in relation to one another.Structured in the form of a dialogue between a distinguished array of Mexicanists and comparative social theorists, this volume boldly reassesses past analyses of the Mexican revolution and suggests new directions for future study. Showcasing a wealth of original archival and ethnographic research, this collection provides a new and deeper understanding of Mexico’s revolutionary experience. It also speaks more broadly to a problem of extraordinary contemporary relevance: the manner in which local societies and self-proclaimed "revolutionary" states are articulated historically. The result is a unique collection bridging social history, anthropology, historical sociology, and cultural studies in its formulation of new approaches for rethinking the multifaceted relationship between power, culture, and resistance.Contributors. Ana María Alonso, Armando Bartra, Marjorie Becker, Barry Carr, Philip Corrigan, Romana Falcón, Gilbert M. Joseph, Alan Knight, Florencia E. Mallon, Daniel Nugent, Elsie Rockwell, William Roseberry, Jan Rus, Derek Sayer, James C. Scott

Recenzii

"This is a fascinating collection of speculative essays and historical case studies of the local experience of the Mexican revolution and the formation of the modern Mexican state. . . . By examining the revolutionary process in a wide variety of regional settings [the contributors] tease out an understanding of the mixture of ruling-class hegemony and popular resistance continually present in the complex process called 'the revolution.'" --NACLA Report on the Americas“[A]n avatar of a new wave of political history of Mexico. . . . [T]he essays in this collection hang together well. . . . Editors Joseph and Nugent set the general tone for Everyday Forms of State Formation with their sophisticated discussion of popular culture as resistance to state-formation projects.”—Eric Van Young, Latin American Research Review “Joseph and Nugent have constructed a new and original framework for understanding the formation of the Mexican state in relation to the complex social and political cultures that have supported or challenged it. This is a single, well-integrated volume. Its perspective will go a long way toward challenging conventional thinking about the modern Mexican state and the revolutions that engendered and accompanied it.”—Claude A. Comerleau, Hispanic American Historical Review “What is most impressive about this volume is the way each author contributes so precisely to a larger scholarly enterprise which successfully weds theory with practice.”—British Bulletin of Publications"The essays in Everyday Forms of State Formation brilliantly shift the understanding of the Mexican Revolution to a new analytical framework that highlights the mediations between power and everyday forms of resistance and organization. Drawing on new theoretical approaches to the processes of hegemony, the authors go beyond analyses that posit either a reified oppressive state or a homogenized, often romanticized notion of ‘the people’ as heroic subjects of revolutionary change."—George Yúdice, Hunter College "This book represents something eminently new and original. I believe it will have a great impact and draw Mexico and its evolution into the general discussion of state formation, popular culture and revolution from which it has been significantly absent for a long time."—Friedrich Katz, University of Chicago
