MASSIMO DE GIUSEPPE

The Mexican Revolution

The book tells the story of the Mexican Revolution, describes its main phases, and discusses its political, military, economic, social, and cultural consequences. Historical and quasi-mythical personalities - including Emiliano Zapata, Pancho Villa, Francisco Madero, Venustiano Carranza, and lvaro Obregn - punctuate a collective history that reflects the plurality of cultures in a country that engaged in the first great revolution and civil war of the 20th century. The Mexican Revolution was destined to produce a great number of political, symbolic, and even identitary constructs.

Massimo De Giuseppe is a researcher in contemporary history at the Free University of Languages and Communication in Milan.
