Mexico has had many distinct periods of history, demonstrating clearly that the tale changes with the writer. In \u003cem\u003eNational Narratives in Mexico\u003c\/em\u003e, Enrique Florescano examines each historical vision of Mexico as it was interpreted in its own time, revealing the influences of national or ethnic identity, culture, and evolving concepts of history and national memory.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFlorescano shows how the image of Mexico today is deeply rooted in ideas of past Mexicos--ancient Mexico, colonial Mexico, revolutionary Mexico--and how these ideas can be more fully understood by examining Mexico's past historians. An awareness of the historian's cultural perspective helps us to understand which types of evidence would be considered valid in constructing a national narrative. These considerations are important in modern Mexican historiography, as historians begin to question the validity of Mexico's \"collective memory.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnhanced by more than two hundred drawings, photographs, and maps, \u003cem\u003eNational Narratives in Mexico\u003c\/em\u003e offers a new vision of Mexico's turbulent history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Oklahoma Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47599231434903,"sku":"9780806143187","price":3362.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780806143187.webp?v=1775003631","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/national-narratives-in-mexico-a-history-9780806143187","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
