Paperback. Zustand: New. The history of Mexico is spoken in the voice of ordinary people. In rhymed verse and mariachi song, in letters of romance and whispered words in the cantina, the heart and soul of a nation is revealed in all its intimacy and authenticity. Mexico in Verse, edited by Stephen Neufeld and Michael Matthews, examines Mexican history through its poetry and music, the spoken and the written word.Focusing on modern Mexico, from 1840 to the 1980s, this volume examines the cultural venues in which people articulated their understanding of the social, political, and economic change they witnessed taking place during times of tremendous upheaval, such as the Mexican-American War, the Porfiriato, and the Mexican Revolution. The words of diverse peoples-people of the street, of the field, of the cantinas-reveal the development of the modern nation. Neufeld and Matthews have chosen sources so far unexplored by Mexicanist scholars in order to investigate the ways that individuals interpreted-whether resisting or reinforcing-official narratives about formative historical moments.The contributors offer new research that reveals how different social groups interpreted and understood the Mexican experience. The collected essays cover a wide range of topics: military life, railroad accidents, religious upheaval, children's literature, alcohol consumption, and the 1985 earthquake. Each chapter provides a translated song or poem that encourages readers to participate in the interpretive practice of historical research and cultural scholarship. In this regard, Mexico in Verse serves both as a volume of collected essays and as a classroom-ready primary document reader.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. A deep dive into the history of bullfighting, hunting, and animal control in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Mexico. In Perilous Beasts Stephen B. Neufeld explains how and why Mexicans accepted animal death as a part of daily human life. Whether with casual indifference or with roaring cheers, the death of animals became a feature of the emerging liberal and capitalist society. This study looks at an era between 1870 and 1920 when cities became killers, sports became spectacle, and wildlife became game. Beasts died for science and entertainment all across turn-of-the-century Mexico from cities and suburbs to wildernesses, best exemplified by the proliferation of blood sports-cockfighting, bullfighting, and hunting. Neufeld explores topics including public health and the war against rabies, the emergence of the bullring as modern entertainment, and the deep contradictions between elite safari and indigenous foodways. Perilous Beasts examines how Mexicans made sense of and culture from these practices. Although some pushed back and demanded the abolition of practices like the bullfight, many supported these sports with enthusiasm and even, at times, with full-throated rioting and arson. As animals lost their status as "fellow beings" they became casualties to the genocidal impulses of a changing society. Through considerations of how the human-animal justified killing dogs, roosters, bulls, and other creatures for reasons beyond strict necessity, Perilous Beasts explains the necropolitical ecology and power of a transformed Mexico.…
