WORKS CITED.......................................... 281 7 ABSTRACT united in a quest to restore order, preserve hierarchy, and avoid profound change in Mexican society, different components of the political right resisted the Revolutionary regime from 1929 to 1940. Catholic peasants in the Bajio joined lay organizations and persisted in armed Cristero rebellion as they rejected socialist education in the mid- 1930s. Industrialists, who had given tacit support to the government in the Maximato, were slow to organize but vigorous in their fight against the labor policies of Lazaro Cardenas's administration from 1935 to 1940. Urban middle sectors attempted to vote the government out of power with the 1929 presidential campaign of Jose Vasconcelos, and mobilized even more effectively a decade later--joined by northern ranchers fearful of continued agrarian reform. Weak and frayed by personalism during the Maximato, the right coalesced only after a frail electoral effort in 1934, when the rise of radicalism prodded it to action. Aware of cardenismo's vision for Mexico, and cognizant of the decline of its institutional bulwarks of army and church, by 1937 the right offered a fresh political discourse on family, faith, womanhood, and nation. It engaged the Revolutionary establishment on these issues with devastating effect, placing the Cardenas government on the defensive and forcing a fundamental shift rightward in body politic by 1940. 8 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION: ANTECEDENTS OF THE MEXICAN RIGHT TO 1929 For students of Latin America, the political right has become an important topic of inquiry.l Scholars in multiple disciplines have offered sophisticated theoretical analyses of rightist regimes, and, more recently, historians have begun to delve into Latin American archives in order to uncover the roots of the region's contemporary right wing movements. Keen interest in the political right is something new. The political left has stolen the spotlight throughout the breadth of twentieth-century world political history, and for Latin Americanists in particular, the substantial and growing interest in the right contrasts with the focus of the last generation of scholars. 2 Working in the context of the Cold 1 Examples of the surge in recent studies include Douglas Chalmers, Maria do Carmo Campello, and Atilio

    HISTORY OF MEXICO Brungardt HIST-A410-001 Bobet 211 MWF: 10:30-11:20am Spring 2011 DESCRIPTION: This course surveys the history of Mexico from the beginning to the present. GRADES: Loyola's final letter grades are: F, D, D+, C-, C, C+, B-, B, B+, A-, and A, and in this course they can be averaged by using the numbers 0 through 10. Your final grade is 1/3 quizzes, 1/3 discussion, and 1/3 final exam. Quizzes (1/3 of final grade) Ordinarily at the beginning of every class, promptly at 9:30 there will be a three-minute quiz that is worth ten points. A sample quiz that does not count against you will be given Monday, January 10; any points scored will be added as bonus points to any future points you may accumulate. Thereafter there will be daily quizzes ordinarily for the duration of the semester. The total scored will be divided by the total possible score, that is, for example, 40 quizzes x 10 points equal a total possible score of 400, and if the total scored was 325, then the percent scored would be 81.25% and the equivalent letter grade would be C+. The corresponding letter grades for the percentages would be the following: A = 96-100% = 10 B- = 84-86 = 6 D+ = 73-74 = 2 A- = 93-95 = 9 C+ = 81-83 = 5 D = 70-72 = 1 B+ = 90-92 = 8 C = 78-80 = 4 F = 0-69 = 0 B = 87-89 = 7 C- = 75-77 = 3 No make-ups are given for these quizzes, ever! Anyone who is not in their seat when the quiz is handed out is automatically late, and while they may take the quiz, they must hand it in at the same time as the others.

  • I. Background Information the Cristero War Or Cristero
    Historical Crisis Committee: Cristero War Members of the Dais: Myrna del Mar González & Gabriel García CSIMNU: September 23 & 24, 2016 I. Background Information The Cristero War or Cristero Rebellion (1926–1929), otherwise called La Cristiada, was a battle in many western Mexican states against the secularist, hostile to Catholic, and anticlerical strategies of the Mexican government. The defiance was set off by order under President Plutarco Elías Calles of a statute to authorize the anticlerical articles of the Mexican Constitution of 1917 (otherwise called the Calles Law). Calles tried to wipe out the force of the Catholic Church and associations subsidiary with it as an organization, furthermore smothering well known religious festivals. The gigantic prominent provincial uprising was implicitly upheld by the Church progressive system and was helped by urban Catholic backing. US Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow expedited transactions between the Calles government and the Church. The administration made a few concessions; the Church pulled back its support for the Cristero contenders and the contention finished in 1929. It can be seen as a noteworthy occasion in the battle among Church and State going back to the nineteenth century with the War of Reform, however, it can likewise be translated as the last real laborer uprising in Mexico taking after the end of the military period of the Mexican Revolution in 1920. II. Church-State Conflict The Mexican Revolution (1910–20) remains the biggest clash in Mexican history. The fall of Dictator Porfirio Díaz unleashed disarray with numerous battling groups and areas. The Catholic Church and the Díaz government had gone to a casual modus vivendi 1Whereby the State did not uphold the anticlerical articles of the liberal Constitution of 1857, and additionally did not cancel them.

Los primeros gobiernos dictaron una serie de medidas para reanimar ambos sectores; sin embargo, no fueron suficientes y por lo tanto consideraron que la mejor manera de conseguir fondos parecía ser la consecución de empréstitos extranjeros. La necesidad y la conveniencia de éstos son manifiestas en las voces de altos funcionarios de la época. En mayo de 1822, Francisco de Borja Migoni, comerciante mexicano residente en Londres, escribió al emperador Iturbide ofreciéndole su intervención para negociar un empréstito con Inglaterra. Pensaba que los varios años de residencia en aquel país le permitirían concretarlo en las mejores condiciones.[ 1 ] Migoni reportó que los comerciantes británicos estaban extremadamente interesados en las riquezas y el comercio de México, y reveló que repetidamente ellos le habían preguntado todo lo concerniente a la posibilidad de invertir allí.[ 2 ] Migoni sugería que un préstamo de Inglaterra era conveniente no sólo porque resolvería favorablemente la triste situación de la hacienda imperial, sino también daría a Inglaterra un nuevo interés en apoyar la independencia de México. Al mes siguiente, los legisladores mexicanos discutían la posibilidad de solicitar un préstamo en el extranjero.

  • The Mexican-American Press and the Spanish Civil War”
    Abraham Lincoln Brigades Archives (ALBA) Submission for George Watt Prize, Graduate Essay Contest, 2020. Name: Carlos Nava, Southern Methodist University, Graduate Studies. Chapter title: Chapter 3. “The Mexican-American Press and The Spanish Civil War” Word Count: 8,052 Thesis title: “Internationalism In The Barrios: Hispanic-Americans and The Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939.” Thesis abstract: The ripples of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) had a far-reaching effect that touched Spanish speaking people outside of Spain. In the United States, Hispanic communities –which encompassed Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Mexicans, Spaniards, and others— were directly involved in anti-isolationist activities during the Spanish Civil War. Hispanics mobilized efforts to aid the Spanish Loyalists, they held demonstrations against the German and Italian intervention, they lobbied the United States government to lift the arms embargo on Spain, and some traveled to Spain to fight in the International Brigades. This thesis examines how the Spanish Civil War affected the diverse Hispanic communities of Tampa, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Against the backdrop of the war, this paper deals with issues regarding ethnicity, class, gender, and identity. It discusses racism towards Hispanics during the early days of labor activism. It examines ways in which labor unions used the conflict in Spain to rally support from their members to raise funds for relief aid. It looks at how Hispanics fought against American isolationism in the face of the growing threat of fascism abroad. CHAPTER 3. THE MEXICAN-AMERICAN PRESS AND THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR During the Spanish Civil War, the Mexican-American press in the Southwest stood apart from their Spanish language counterparts on the East Coast.

It argues that they have become one of the main and most powerful forces for the integration of the country in the global capitalist system. Globalising processes lived and promoted by the Mexican business class are contradictory in several respects: on one hand, modernisation, institutionalisation and depersonalisation of corporate structures and of the system of business representation; is hindered by business clientelism and corruption in party funding.

Articles The Movement that Sinned Twice: The Cristero War and Mexican Collective Memory By Consuelo S. Moreno Abstract: Many scattered occurrences in Mexico bring to memory the 1926-1929 Cristero War, the contentious armed struggle between the revolutionary government and the Catholic Church. After the conflict ceased, the Cristeros and their legacy did not become part of Mexico’s national identity. This article explores the factors why this war became a distant memory rather than a part of Mexico’s history. Dissipation of Cristero groups and organizations, revolutionary social reforms in the 1930s, and the intricate relationship between the state and Church after 1929 promoted a silence surrounding this historical event. Decades later, a surge in Cristero literature led to the identification of notable Cristero figures in the 1990s and early 2000s.

  • The Mexican Political Fracture and the 1954 Coup in Guatemala (The Beginnings of the Cold War in Latin America)
    Culture & History Digital Journal 4(1) June 2015, e006 eISSN 2253-797X doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.3989/chdj.2015.006 The Mexican political fracture and the 1954 coup in Guatemala (The beginnings of the cold war in Latin America) Soledad Loaeza El Colegio de México [email protected] Submitted: 2 September 2014. Accepted: 16 February 2015 ABSTRACT: This article challenges two general assumptions that have guided the study of Mexican foreign policy in the last four decades. First, that from this policy emerges national consensus; and, secondly that between Mexico and the US there is a “special relation” thanks to which Mexico has been able to develop an autonomous foreign policy. The two assumptions are discussed in light of the impact on Mexican domestic politics of the 1954 US- sponsored military coup against the government of government of Guatemala. In Mexico, the US intervention re- opened a political fracture that had first appeared in the 1930’s, as a result of President Cárdenas’radical policies that divided Mexican society. These divisions were barely dissimulated by the nationalist doctrine adopted by the gov- ernment. The Guatemalan Crisis brought some of them into the open. The Mexican President, Adolfo Ruiz Cortines’ priority was the preservation of political stability. He feared the US government might feel the need to intervene in Mexico to prevent a serious disruption of the status quo. Thus, Ruiz Cortines found himself in a delicate position in which he had to solve the conflicts derived from a divided elite and a fractured society, all this under the pressure of US’ expectations regarding a secure southern border.

  • Dignitatis Humanae and the Development of Moral Doctrine: Assessing Change in Catholic Social Teaching on Religious Liberty
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Dignitatis humanae and the Development of Moral Doctrine: Assessing Change in Catholic Social Teaching on Religious Liberty A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Barrett Hamilton Turner Washington, D.C 2015 Dignitatis humanae and the Development of Moral Doctrine: Assessing Change in Catholic Social Teaching on Religious Liberty Barrett Hamilton Turner, Ph.D. Director: Joseph E. Capizzi, Ph.D. Vatican II’s Declaration on Religious Liberty, Dignitatis humanae (DH), poses the problem of development in Catholic moral and social doctrine. This problem is threefold, consisting in properly understanding the meaning of pre-conciliar magisterial teaching on religious liberty, the meaning of DH itself, and the Declaration’s implications for how social doctrine develops. A survey of recent scholarship reveals that scholars attend to the first two elements in contradictory ways, and that their accounts of doctrinal development are vague. The dissertation then proceeds to the threefold problematic. Chapter two outlines the general parameters of doctrinal development. The third chapter gives an interpretation of the pre- conciliar teaching from Pius IX to John XXIII. To better determine the meaning of DH, the fourth chapter examines the Declaration’s drafts and the official explanatory speeches (relationes) contained in Vatican II’s Acta synodalia. The fifth chapter discusses how experience may contribute to doctrinal development and proposes an explanation for how the doctrine on religious liberty changed, drawing upon the work of Jacques Maritain and Basile Valuet.
