To David Craven, who introduced me to the Taller de Gráfica Popular and their 1947 portfolio, “Estampas de la Revolución Mexicana.” Your passion for Latin American Art and social justice was motivational throughout this project. I have and will always appreciate, more so now than ever, your generosity in recognizing and acknowledging my efforts, growth, and accomplishments. Your determination that my work was good or well done made me feel seen and accomplished, and it lifted me up and most importantly it made me feel like my work and this project matter. I was especially moved on the day you told me I taught you something with my Madero chapter. The last months of this project were especially difficult without you. I ache to continue our conversations about the TGP, their portfolio, and Latin American Art in general. I wish we could have celebrated together the completion of this stage of this project. Professor Craven, you have left an indelible mark on all that have known you and your legacy lives on in all of us who worked with you, as we strive to agitate the seemingly smooth veneer of Art History. May you rest in peace! iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I want to recognize Dr. David Craven whose advisement guided me through my twelve years of graduate work at the Universtiy of New Mexico (UNM). Dr. Craven first introduced me to the TGP in the Spring of 2001 in a seminar that he co-taught with Kathleen Howe, the then print curator of the UNM Art Museum. Topics addressed in this project that I developed under the advisement of Dr. Craven include nation building, imperialism, labor, and indigenismo. For over a decade Dr. Craven aided and supported my dissertation’s development. It saddens me greatly that his name is not included as a member of my dissertation committee. His contributions to this project were numerous and key. It has been a pleasure to have developed and completed this project under the tutelage of Dr. Kirsten Buick my dissertation chair. My work on how systems of differentiation operate and how difference is reflected in the TGP’s portfolio was developed under the advisement of Dr. Buick over the course of numerous years and these concerns have become ongoing projects of their own. Other subjects I worked on with Dr. Buick and will continue to expand on include gender and landscape. I have worked with Professor Buick for a decade and in that time she has taught me meaningful lessons about the world we live in, the field of art history, and myself. She has been and is a generous mentor, important role model, and a wonderful source of encouragement who has guided me through some of the more difficult trials and tribulations on my academic journey. Her gifts to me have been great and I am truly grateful for her presence in my life. iv I also thank my committee members, Dr. Holly Barnet-Sanchez, Dr. Linda Hall, and Dr. Suzanne Schadel for their valuable recommendations pertaining to this study. Dr. Holly Barnet-Sanchez is the scholar who drew me to UNM for graduate school. Although I veered away from Latino Art as I moved toward Mexican Art, our jouney together both academically and personally has come full circle in unexpected and glorious ways. She has bestowed upon me some of the most generous gifts a scholar can offer. I am overwhelmed by her goodwill, which will stay with me always. I wish to recognize Dr. Linda Hall for her important insights with regard to Mexican history and the Mexican Revolution. Professor Hall has been a generous and wonderful teacher and adviser. I especially appreciate her understanding and efforts to support me in any way I have needed over the years. Suzanne Schadl was very supportive and encouraging of my work, particularly through her sponsorship of an exhibition that I curated in 2012 entitled, Civil Rights and Social Justice: Works of El Taller de Gráfica Popular that was on display at the Hertzstein Reading Room at Zimmerman Library, UNM. Another scholar I would like to thank is Dr. Ruth Capelle, my first mentor and guide in academia. Her encouragement served to jettison me into graduate school. Although we did not see eye to eye on this project, our conversations about Mexican Art and the TGP’s portfolio were meaningful and helpful. I have benefitted greatly from numerous relationships and conversations I have had with my colleagues in the Department of Art and Art History over the years. Dr. Elizabeth Olton has been a good friend and colleague over the years. She is a great source of support and inspiration. In particular, I want to thank my Art History writing group cohort, Corey Dzenko and Gay Falk, who have been generous and crucial in their v support and critical feedback on my dissertaton. They made what seemed impossible, easier. They have been teachers, sounding boards, editors, and good friends. Both have helped me become a better scholar and writer and I will always reflect on our sessions together as some of the best Art History I have ever known. Santosh Chandrashekar has also served as a great facilitator for this writing group. His insights and challenges have been helpful and thought provoking. There are also a number of folks across the UNM campus to whom I am thankful for in terms of their support, guidance, help, and friendship throughout my doctoral program. Gina Diaz is a great friend and source of support and dialogue. Her thoughtful approach to academia, art, and friendship is impressive and enlightening. Leah Sneider organized some of the first graduate writing groups on the UNM campus and was the first writing group facilitator I worked with. Her insights and advisement were very helpful. Another writing group cohort that was important to my productivity and success in producing this dissertation included Elena Aviles and Estela Vasquez. It was refreshing and helpful to work with and around people who understood some of the unique pressures one struggles with in academia. Anna Cabrera helped to organize my writing group with Elena and Estela, which was a gift unto itself. She also served as an important leader and motivator through numerous UNM Graduate Resource Center Writing Boot Camps. There are many who have contributed to this project and I wish to honor all those who remain unnamed. Exchanges with colleagues and faculty at the University of New Mexico that have taken place over the past twelve years have definitely made their imprint on this project. Additionally, institutions on the UNM campus that have been vi crucial to my research, productivity, and success include: The University of New Mexico Art Museum; Center for Southwest Research, Zimmerman Library; The Fine Arts and Design Library; and the Graduate Resource Center. The personnel and staff at all of these sites have supported my efforts in very important ways and I am truly appreciative. Doug Weintraub at the Office of Graduate Studies was particularly helpful in the last stage of the dissertation project. Teresa Law was an important part of my team at UNM. She helped me wade through the academic, professional, and personal. Her commitement to and concern for my well-being was always evident and generous. The University of New Mexico (or UNM) holds the second largest collection in the United States of work by the Taller de Gráfica Popular. This resource has been invaluable to my examination of numerous group productions and individual works by artists of the collective and in particular to my dissertation project. The UNM Art Museum owns a copy of Estampas de la Revolución Mexicana, which provided me the unique opportunity of relatively unlimited access to the prints from this album. Although I have been looking at and thinking about prints by the TGP for over a decade, I realize there is still so much to discover, investigate, and write. Financial support throughout my doctoral program has come from various sources including: The Wallace Endowed Scholarship in Latin American Art History through the Department of Art and Art History, UNM (Fall 2010-Sp 2011); a Dean’s Dissertation Scholarship from the Office of Graduate Studies, UNM (Fall 2010-Spring 2011); a Ph.D.

  • Location of Mexico Mexico Is the Second-Largest Country by Size and Population in Latin America
    Read and Respond: Location, Climate, and Natural Resources of Mexico and Venezuela Location of Mexico Mexico is the second-largest country by size and population in Latin America. It is the largest Spanish- speaking country in the world. The country is located south of the United States. On the west is the Pacific Ocean, and on the east are the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Mexico’s location between the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea allows it the opportunity to trade. There are seven major seaports in Mexico. Oil and other materials from Mexico can be easily shipped around the world to ports along the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Another advantage of Mexico’s location is that it is close to the United States. Because the two countries share a border, trade is easier. Railroads and trucks can be used to ship goods. Mexico’s main trading partner is the United States. Climate of Mexico Mexico has the Sierra Madre Mountains, deserts in the north, tropical beaches, plains, and plateaus. The climate varies according to the location, with some tropical areas receiving more than 40 inches of rain a year. Desert areas in the north remain dry most of the year. Most people live on the Central Plateau of Mexico in the central part of the country. Mexico City, one of the world’s largest cities, is in this region. There is arable (farmable) land in this region, and there is usually enough rain to grow a variety of crops. The region has many manufacturing centers, which provide jobs.

  • Ricardo Flores Magón and the Transnational Anarchists in Los Angeles, 1900-1922
    Ricardo Flores Magón and the Transnational Anarchists in Los Angeles, 1900-1922 Sergio Maldonado In the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution, many people such as Ricardo Flores Magón and the residents of Los Angeles found themselves in a perpetual state of exploitation by either the Mexican or U.S. governments. Mexicans found solidarity together, mounting resistance against insurmountable odds. Even under the direst of circumstances, their efforts in the early twentieth- century would propel Mexican-Americans’ identity into an epoch of self-realization that is uniquely transnational. For many Mexican-Americans in this period, Ricardo Flores Magón was their inspiration. In 1917 Flores Magón gave a speech in front of a group of Mexicans from the California cities of El Monte and La Puente, commemorating the manifesto of El Partido Liberal Mexicano. After years of struggle against the Mexican dictatorship, he explained to his comrades that they must leave behind the clasping of hands and anxiously asking ourselves what will be effective in resisting the assault of governmental tyranny and capitalist exploitation. The remedy is in our hands: that all who suffer the same evils unite, certain that before our solidity the abuses of those who base their strength in our separations and indifference will crumble. 1 This and similar calls for unity by Flores Magón and the many Mexicans residing in and around Los Angeles who flocked to listen to him together fostered the growth of Chicano nationalism. Flores Magón was a renowned anarchist intellectual of the Mexican Revolution. Many scholars have regarded him as an important figure in Chicano history and view him as a fundamental figure of Chicano nationalism due to his rebellious actions in Mexico and the United States.

Hopkins Southern Methodist University 05/05/2014 2 On July 17, 1936 the news of the Nationalist uprising in Morocco was confirmed by a radio station at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, after General Franco alerted his fellow conspirators in the mainland with a telegram that the uprising against the Popular Front government of Spain had begun.1 General Quiepo de Llano occupied Seville after bitter fighting on July 18; General Varela held the port of Cádiz and the eastern coast down to Algeciras near Gibraltar. General Miguel Cabanellas rose in Zaragoza; in Castile the rebellion placed the principal towns In Nationalist hands, and General Mola controlled Pamplona, the capital of Navarre by July 19.2 The initial plan of the coup was for the Army of Africa to mobilize in the early morning of July 18, to be followed 24 hours later by the Army in Spain with the goals of capturing the country’s major cities and communication centers. This would be followed with the ferrying of Franco’s African Army to the peninsula by Navy ships that had joined the rebellion. The forces would converge in Madrid and force the transfer of power, which had happen numerous times in recent Spanish history. However, the uprising of July 17 failed in its initial goal of toppling the Republic in a swift coup.

Siqueiros generated a ‘torrential flow of ideas and new projects’ with a child’s eye for investigation and surprise.”1 I have written about and looked for Autorretrato con espejo since 1994. It was painted by Siqueiros in New York in his Siqueiros Experimental Workshop, signed and dated 1937. This is one of the key paintings in the process of the artist to construct kinetic dynamism in painting. It was out of sight, nobody knew who owned it, until now that it is on view at Mary-Anne Martin Fine Art, New York. The specialists thought it had been destroyed. In 1994, I rescued an archive photograph of it in black and white. Raquel Tibol published this photo on the cover of her 1996 anthology: Palabras de Siqueiros.
