  • Performing the Mexican Revolution in Neoliberal Times
    ABSTRACT Since the time of the Mexican Revolution of 1910, images associated with this nation-defining event have been presented in an array of media and cultural productions. Within the past two decades these images have been re-imagined, re-coded and re/de- constructed in reaction to social and cultural changes associated with a crisis of political legitimation and the demise of hegemonic revolutionary ideology, as espoused by the long-ruling Party of the Institionalized Revolution (PRI), amid the generalized implementation of neoliberal policies in the county. My dissertation argues that the ascendance of neoliberalism, with the opening of Mexican economic and political systems, has resulted in changes in the socio-cultural work performed by the Revolution- Nation-Gender triad. This trinity, solidified in the post-Revolutionary national imaginary, weaves the three notions together such that as hegemonic discourses of Revolutionary nationalism enter in crisis, discourses of gender are also destabilized. The dissertation consists of three main sub-arguments. First, I argue that the discourse(s) surrounding Revolutionary heroes has been integral to the (re)definition of the Mexican nation and that analyzing recodings of this discourse through the example of Emiliano Zapata reveals a destabilization of hegemonic nationalism. These changes have allowed alternatives to surface both in Mexico and across the border as part of a recoded ii transnational Revolutionary nationalism. As cracks opened in the Revolutionary edifice allowing alternatives to emerge, they have also opened space for alternative gender discourses. I next argue that a close analysis of representations of masculine gender roles as manifested in a variety of cultural texts, specifically through Revolutionary icons Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata, reveals a crisis of the macho archetype in the contemporary Mexican nation.

Reported by 1922 newspaper articles as being born "Francisco Tingson." New York Times article from July 15, 1925 reports his real name was Francisco Guilledo. Older brother to fellow boxer Little Pancho. Villa started his boxing career at the Olympic Club in Manila. The Olympic Club was owned and run by Eddie Tait (of Seattle, Washington) and Frank Churchill. (In the early 1920s, flys and bantams were the most popular weight divisions in the Philippines and Australia.) Two of the earliest, if not the earliest mentions of Villa in an American newspaper were the Dec. 7 & 26, 1921 Tacoma News Tribune editions. Rafael Gellide/Guilledo claimed to be Villa's father, saying they had reunited at New York in 1923 after 18 years. Guilledo claimed his wife had deserted him in the Philippines when Pancho was 11 months old. Known during his time as being one of the cleanest fighters around, always showing concern for his opponents and always, after knocking a foe down, immediately turning away and walking to his corner (this was before rules requiring going to a neutral corner). NY Times July 15, 1925: Villa "...died at a hospital here [San Francisco] today while undergoing an operation for an infection of the throat that developed from an infected tooth.

  • MEXICAN BORDER by Linda C
    SQUADRON A SERVICE ON THE MEXICAN BORDER By Linda C. Robinson With contributions by Brig. Gen. (MA) Leonid Kondratiuk and Maj. Albert A. Nofi, NYSG (Ret.) Introduction In 1916 the National Guard was called into federal service for the first time, as a consequence of the Mexican Revolution that had begun in 1910. The United States had strengthened positioned federal forces on the border and built forts to prevent incursions into U.S. territory by Mexican government and rebel forces alike. In 1911 there were some isolated incidences of shots being exchanged across the border between U.S. forces and the warring Mexicans. In April 1914, the U.S. intervened directly in the Mexican civil war, at Vera Cruz. U.S. naval and marine forces occupied the port to prevent the landing of arms for the forces of Victoriano Huerta, who had illegally seized power in a coup d’état in February of 1913, ousting and then murdering the elected president. Reinforced by Army personnel, the U.S. occupied the city until November of 1913. The fighting for Vera Cruz and subsequent occupation increased tensions and sparked anti-American sentiment in Mexico, even among the anti-Huerta forces, as well as in other Spanish-speaking nations south of the border. In March of 1916, Pancho Villa and his rebel forces attacked a train in Santa Isabel, in Mexico’s northern Chihuahua State, killing 18 Americans. Later, Villa and his forces attacked three U.S. border towns in search of supplies to help fight the Mexican federal troops, killing civilians and U.S.

  • Dolph Briscoe IV Economic History of Mexico, 1820-1940 Spring 2008 the University of Texas at Austin
    1 Dolph Briscoe IV Economic History of Mexico, 1820-1940 Spring 2008 The University of Texas at Austin The Economic Goals of Francisco “Pancho” Villa in the Mexican Revolution Introduction Francisco “Pancho” Villa is one of the most famous individuals in Mexico’s history. Villa has become a mythic figure since his involvement in the Mexican Revolution of the early twentieth century. The historian encounters difficulty in separating myth from fact, especially as Villa legends have grown throughout Mexico and the world since his death in 1923. Also problematic is that Villa himself relished and encouraged the propagation of disputed tales about his life. Historian Friedrich Katz in his detailed biography of Pancho Villa discusses this problem. Katz explains: “There are legends of Villa the Robin Hood, Villa the Napoleon of Mexico, Villa the ruthless killer, Villa the womanizer, and Villa as the only foreigner who has attacked the mainland of the United States since the war of 1812 and gotten away with it. Whether correct or incorrect, exaggerated or true to life, these legends have resulted in Pancho Villa the leader obscuring his movement, and the myths obscuring the leader.”1 The following paper works through the Villa legends to discover the facts about his economic philosophies and goals. Understanding the economic aspects of Pancho Villa’s life will allow a greater comprehension of the economic causes and events of the Mexican Revolution. Specifically, I seek to answer the following questions: How did Villa’s early life affect his economic philosophy? What were Villa’s economic goals in the early years of the Mexican Revolution? What economic policies did Villa pursue as governor of Chihuahua? 1Friedrich Katz, The Life and Times of Pancho Villa (Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press, 1998), xiii.

  • The Mexican Connection
    The Mexican Connection The population of Southern Louisiana, and especially of New Orleans, has many deep and long-lasting connections with Mexico. These include not only family ties but cultural influences, such as cuisine, art, furniture and music, which have made their way back and forth across the Mexican-American border for centuries. Historical, as well as cultural connections, abound. Gálvez defeats the British at the Siege of Pensacola, 1781. Bernardo de Gálvez (1746 – 1786) was the fourth Spanish colonial governor of Louisiana, from 1777 to 1785, and remembered for his successes against the British during the American Revolution. He also endeared himself to the French Creole population of New Orleans by marrying in November 1777 Marie Félicité de Saint-Maxent d'Estrehan, the daughter of Gilbert Antoine de Saint-Maxent and recent widow of Jean-Baptiste d’Estréhan’s son. For his many achievements, Gálvez (for whom a major thoroughfare in New Orleans is named) was made a count in 1783 and soon after Viceroy of New Spain. This took him to Mexico, where he arrived in Vera Cruz on May 21, 1785, and made his formal entry into Mexico City that June. In Mexico City, Gálvez did many great things, such as ordering the installation of street lights and the paving of streets, as well as the construction of the cathedral towers. He also initiated the construction of Chapultepec Castle in 1785. When a famine and typhus epidemic struck the following year killing 300,000 people, Gálvez donated 12,000 pesos of his own inheritance and raised an additional 100,000 pesos to buy beans and maize for the populace.
