Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo contrasts Mexico's presence at the 1889 Paris fair--where its display was the largest and most expensive Mexico has ever mounted--with Mexico's presence after the 1910 Mexican Revolution at fairs in Rio de Janeiro in 1922 and Seville in 1929. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Rather than seeing the revolution as a sharp break, Tenorio-Trillo points to important continuities between the pre- and post-revolution periods. He also discusses how, internationally, the character of world's fairs was radically transformed during this time, from the Eiffel Tower prototype, encapsulating a wondrous symbolic universe, to the Disneyland model of commodified entertainment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on cultural, intellectual, urban, literary, social, and art histories, Tenorio-Trillo's thorough and imaginative study presents a broad cultural history of Mexico from 1880 to 1930, set within the context of the origins of Western nationalism, cosmopolitanism, and modernism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis title is part of UC Press's \u003ci\u003eVoices Revived\u003c\/i\u003e program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.
