Hotel Mexico: Dwelling on the '68 Movement Tapa blanda - 2016

Descripción de contraportada

"George F. Flaherty's wildly intermedial study of the Mexican state, modernization, and the 1968 student movement is a tour de force of cultural studies. One leaves this book with a rich appreciation for how the state attempts to control the flow of affect, information, bodies, and ideas." --Mary K. Coffey, author of How a Revolutionary Art Became Official Culture: Murals, Museums, and the Mexican State

"This important study expands the field of inquiry into Mexico's long 1960s beyond the social and cultural domain to encompass questions of structure and critical formation and of histories evoked by such place names and events as Lecumberri, Tlatelolco, and the Olympics." --Roberto Tejada, Hugh Roy and Lillie Cranz Cullen Distinguished Professor, University of Houston

"In Hotel Mexico, Flaherty brilliantly deploys the gritty detail of archival documents and visual culture to challenge the grand promises and veiled threats of the modernizing discourse known as the Mexican Miracle." --Esther Gabara, author of Errant Modernism: The Ethos of Photography in Mexico and Brazil
