This intriguing study of Mexicos participation in worlds fairs from 1889 to 1929 explores Mexicos self-presentation at these fairs as a reflection of the countrys drive toward nationalization and a modernized image. Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo contrasts Mexicos presence at the 1889 Paris fair--where its display was the largest and most expensive Mexico has ever mounted--with Mexicos presence after the 1910 Mexican Revolution at fairs in Rio de Janeiro in 1922 and Seville in 1929.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 worlds fairs was radically transformed during this time, from the Eiffel Tower prototype, encapsulating a wondrous symbolic universe, to the Disneyland model of commodified entertainment.Drawing on cultural, intellectual, urban, literary, social, and art histories, Tenorio-Trillos 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.
