The Myth of Revolution: Hero Cults and the Institutionalization of the Mexican S

Description: The Myth of Revolution by Ilene O'Malley Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description ?OMalley uses concepts of myth derived from Roland Barthes Mythologies (1972) to analyze the institutionalization of the Mexican Revolution of 1910. Basic to this idea is the assumption that mystification produces myth, which is not a fable, but instead a confusion of the way one thinks about facts. OMalley contends that the revolution was guided through this mystification by the government in order to perpetuate the bourgeois character of the regime. He explains the emergence of the myth through an anlysis of hero cults for Francisco Madero, Venustiano Carranza, Emiliano Zapata, and Pancho Villa. Propaganda surrounding these four heroes had several common traits: the claim that the government was revolutionary; the promotion of nationalism; the obfuscation of history; the denigration of politics; Christian imagery and the promotion of Catholic values; and patriarchal values. All of these traits were used, according to OMalley, to co-opt opposition to the middle-class revolution. The author introduces concepts used to study the French Revolution to the Mexican context in an interesting and innovative fashion. ... Mexican newspapers are used effectively. ... OMalleys work is important for promoting the study of myth in revolution. One hopes it will be followed by similar studies.
