A New Factor in American Destiny: Visions of Porfirio Díaz and the Politics of “Logical Paternalism” JASON RUIZ Now, one president for twenty years. Some will say that this is not republican. Possibly not, but it is business. —Charles F. Lummis (1902) For an elderly foreign dictator, Porfirio Díaz was tremendously popular with American travelers and observers in the wake of the Spanish-American War. As the United States grappled with its growing power in the hemisphere, well-to-do Americans traveling in Mexico clamored to meet the President and Carmen, his sophisticated young wife.1 The presidential couple indulged a surprising number of meeting requests, and their lucky American guests described meeting Díaz with an almost palpable sense of awe. “As you wait in the anteroom to meet the president,” wrote one American supporter, “you are about to meet what is probably the greatest figure—as it is unquestionably the most romantic—in the world’s politics this half century . and before you know it you are seated vis-à-vis with the creator of a new factor in American destiny.”2 Those who could not secure a personal audience with “the foremost man of the American hemisphere” sent home postcards featuring official-looking photographs of the President or pasted cartes-de-visite in scrapbooks commemorating their journey to a “strange land near home,” as one primer for American schoolchildren called Mexico in 1902.3 Some Americans wrote travelogues crediting him with the amazing transformation of Mexico from a dangerous and unknown backwater into a country that closely resembled American prescriptions for a progressive, modern “sister republic.” Newspapers like the Los Angeles Times and New York Times called him a “hero of peace” or the “lion-hearted son” of Mexico. -
The Many Faces of Mexico by David J
The Many Faces of Mexico by David J. Danelo David Danelo graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and served seven years as an infantry officer in the Marine Corps. In 2004, then-Captain Danelo served near Fallujah with the First Marine Expeditionary Force as a convoy commander, intelligence officer and provisional executive officer for a rifle company. His first book, Blood Stripes: The Grunt’s View of the War in Iraq (Stackpole: 2006), was awarded the 2006 Silver Medal (Military History) by the Military Writers Society of America. His most recent book is The Border: Exploring the U.S.-Mexican Divide (2008). He is a Senior Fellow in FPRI’s Program on National Security. Abstract: This article will reexamine basic assumptions about the geopolitics and character of the United States-Mexico border, take a closer look at current events that have affected the drug war and, finally, discuss possible policy responses beyond those routinely voiced in the public domain. eptember 2010 was a special time in Mexico. Billboards from Chihuahua to Chiapas celebrated the ‘‘bicentenario,’’ or the bicentennial celebra- S tion of Mexico’s declaration of independence from Spain. The patriotic festivities culminated on September 15, when revelers crowded the plazas of Mexico’s cities, cheeks painted in the tricolor of green, white and red. Just before midnight, in accordance with Mexico’s annual custom, city leaders read Father Miguel Hidalgo’s 1810 proclamation against colonial tyranny, and the crowd affirmed its conclusion with thunderous cries of ‘‘Viva Me´xico!’’ The Grito de Dolores, as the commemorated event is called, felt like a cross between July 4th in Washington, D.C. -

Alvaro Obregón Mexico was the 3rd largest producer of petroleum in the world. This will certainly not reduce US interest Obregón: José Vasconcelos institutes a vigorous program of rural education. His purpose (at this time) Education was to integrate the Indians into mainstream mestizo society, to incorporate them into a raza cósmica. (Meyer 572-3) Vasconcelos and Vasconcelos employed the Muralists– Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro the Muralists Siqueiros– to decorate buildings with works that would also educate. Obregón: Obregón could not enforce the complete secularization of education because he lacked the Education resources to dispense with the Church. To prevent himself from being perceived as pro-Church, he encouraged Protestant missionaries to enter the country.

Membership rose from 50,000 in 1920 to 1,200,000 in 1924. (Meyer 575) Obregón: Obregón is cautious. He did not wish to disrupt the hacienda system. Redistribution of the land Agrarian Reform would result in reduced productivity, and he also wished to avoid that. Land redistribution is very modest: 3,000,000 acres. -
Charrería, Nationalism, and Manly Relevance in Modern Mexico
CHARRERÍA, NATIONALISM, AND MANLY RELEVANCE IN MODERN MEXICO Angélica Castillo Reyna A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: John C. Chasteen Kathryn Burns Cynthia M. Radding Miguel La Serna Jocelyn Olcott © 2018 Angélica Castillo Reyna ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Angélica Castillo Reyna: Charrería, Nationalism, and Manly Relevance in Modern Mexico (Under the direction of John C. Chasteen) This dissertation offers two premises. First, there is a deep history of relationships between power, horsemanship, and constructions of masculinity in modern Mexico. Second, because of this history, Mexicans in various eras and situations have depended on rural equestrian costumes, identities, and traditions to influence, interpret, and navigate the world around them. Part 1 of this dissertation consists of three chapters and provides an overview of the development of Mexican equestrian customs and the ways that Mexicans in colonial, independent, and revolutionary Mexico used horsemanship to make their lives meaningful, central, and sustainable. Part II, composed of five chapters, shifts to a discussion of the emergence of the equestrian sport community of organized charrería and the way that organized charros continued the practice of transforming Mexico’s equestrian past into a form of strategic cultural capital. Post-revolutionary organized charros, cognizant of the rich equestrian history they had to draw upon, used the idea of Mexican horsemen’s historic contributions in order to claim relevance in post-revolutionary Mexico as the heirs and latest representatives of that historically-significant equestrian tradition. -

Pacheco* [email protected] (UAN) Recibido: 16/01/2013 Aprobado: 22/03/2013 RESUMEN La formación del sistema educativo en México ha requerido de un actor central: los maestros rurales. Al término de la revolución mexicana, el in- cipiente Estado se propuso dos tareas: resolver el problema agrario y el educativo. El 78% de la población mexicana era analfabeta puesto que du- rante el porfiriato (1880-1910) se había privilegiado la educación en áreas urbanas, en tanto que la mayor parte de población radicaba en localidades rurales. ¿Quiénes fueron los maestros rurales que llevaron a cabo esa tarea? ¿Cuáles fueron las aportaciones de la educación rural a la construcción de país? Se presenta una aproximación a los maestros rurales, para lo cual se utilizó la técnica cualitativa de entrevista a cien maestros rurales del estado de Nayarit en el Pacífico mexicano. -
Legacies of Revolution: Popular Militias and the Rule of Law
Legacies of Revolution: Popular Militias and the Rule of Law Mariano Sánchez-Talanquer ∗ Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies Harvard University Department of Politics Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (CIDE) [email protected] October 2018 Working draft. Abstract I examine why emerging revolutionary regimes delegate control over the use of violence to popular militias despite associated agency risks, and the long-run legacies for the rule of law. Drawing on a new geocoded dataset of over 1,700 semi-official peasant militias in postrevolutionary Mexico, I first argue that militias help central elites establish local control during early phases of revolutionary state-building and show that militia mobilization maps onto the geography of mass counterrevolutionary contention. I next document that militia mobilization stunts the development of institutions that underpin the rule of law in the long run. Historical reliance on militias foreshadows more rudimentary local civilian police forces today, weaker formal institutional channels to adjudicate local disputes, and vigilantism in the context of the Mexican drug war. Findings are based on various quantitative identification strategies, while archival materials support pathways connecting historical experience to long-term outcomes. The article provides unusually fine-grained insight into the formation of states with lax control over violent means and brings attention to dynamic inconsistency during state-building as a source of territorial variation in the strength of the rule of law. ∗I am grateful to Kenneth Roberts, Gustavo Flores-Macías, Tom Pepinsky, and Sid Tarrow for their guidance. I also thank Xiomara Chávez, Gustavo Gordillo, Fran Hagopian, Imke Harbers, Horacio Larreguy, Steve Levitsky, Nathan Nunn, Raúl Sánchez de la Sierra, Abbey Steele, Rachel Sweet, David Szakonyi, and Yuhua Wang for helpful comments. -
The Revolution, the State, and Economic Development in Mexico Steven Topik University of California Irvine
History Compass 2 (2004) LA 117, 1–36 The Revolution, the State, and Economic Development in Mexico Steven Topik University of California Irvine Abstract The legacy of the Mexican Revolution is still controversial today. This article reviews some of the transformations historians attribute to the Revolution: economic development, nationalism, an interventionist state, and a broader social policy and challenges the extent to which they can be attributed to the Revolution. It concludes that the state under Porfirio Diaz (1876–1911) was already making substantial advances in these areas. Far from being an ancien regime, backward, neo-feudal regime as is often asserted, the Porfiriato underwent great changes in spreading and monetarizing the market, building transportation and communications infrastructure, modernizing the banking and currency systems, and protecting industry. Far from being a laissez-faire regime, the state under Diaz followed policies of interventionist corporate liberalism. Despite great success at attracting foreign investment, the pre-revolutionary state also undertook nationalist policies by regulating and nationalizing foreign companies and asserting an independent foreign policy. Injustice was rampant, but rather than reflecting backwardness, it was the product of a primitive accumulation phase of modernization. The post- Revolution Mexican state is also compared with another regime that underwent no revolution, Brazil, to ascertain how much of the changes in Mexican policies were the responsibility of Mexico’s revolution. It turns out that Brazil also came to follow nationalist and interventionist policies without the need of a social revolution. Changes in the world economy, particularly the Depression, and the new corportist ideologies it inspired were most important for explaining the change in state policy. -
