Mestizo Modernity

Race, Technology, and the Body in Post-Revolutionary Mexico

Beschreibung

After the end of the Mexican Revolution in 1917, post-revolutionary leaders hoped to assimilate the country's racially diverse population into one official mixed-race identity - the mestizo. This book shows that as part of this vision, the Mexican government believed it could modernize ""primitive"" indigenous peoples through education, modern medicine, industrial agriculture, and factory work.
