These plays, examined within the context of other Mexican adaptations, represent pivotal moments in the development of Mexican reception of \u003ci\u003eAntigone\u003c\/i\u003e, each corresponding to a specific change in the character of Mexico's engagement with \u003ci\u003eAntigone\u003c\/i\u003e as a factor of shifting sociopolitical issues. The \u003ci\u003eAntigone\u003c\/i\u003es of Mexico challenge projects of national mythmaking, social and gender roles, as well as societal failings and cultural apathies, transforming a cultural imposition into a veritable exemplar of Mexican heritage that voices the grievances of specific and highly localized communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAntigone a la Mexicana\u003c\/i\u003e is suitable for scholars and students in Classics, Classical Receptions, Latin American Studies, Theatre, and Post-Colonial Studies. Mexicanists and scholars of Mexican historiography will also find this book of interest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47772914876567,"sku":"9781032719740","price":14808.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032719740.webp?v=1777976629","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/antigone-a-la-mexicana-a-discourse-of-heritage-resistance-and-reception-9781032719740","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
