Continuing on the path of a centennial reconquest of power, Mexico's former ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) easily won October 18 municipal elections in the northern border state of Coahuila. While the PRI has long been the dominant political force in Coahuila, even during the last nine years of National Action Party (PAN) governments at the federal level, the party born from the blood of the 1910 Mexican Revolution dislodged rivals from the key cities of Torreon, San Pedro and Ciudad Acuna in voting last Sunday. The PRI also won hands down in the border city of Piedras Negras. Far from a sore loser, the PAN's Dr. Angel Humberto Garcia Reyes literally embraced winning opponent Jose Manuel Maldonado Maldonado and announced his support for Piedras Negras' new mayor. "Pepe i...
'Art and Revolution in Latin America: 1910-1990' provides valuable glimpses into times of upheaval when artists believed their work held meaning for the general public and had the power to create a better future. The central theme of the Mexican mural painters was the historical trajectory of an entire people, according to the artist Diego Rivera. He believed that for the first time in the history of art, gods, kings, and heads of state were pushed to the edges of mural compositions, and working men and women held the place of honor. In his writings, he explained that what made art revolutionary was far more than subject matter. Revolutionary art was not set aside from life. "It is to me a more vital sign [in 1924] that artists and craftsmen everywhere are returning to the guild, to the...
A recent SD Union editorial (March 31, 2009) entitled "Mexico's Deadly Homage" stated that, "Mexico has had a long fascination with the rogue, the rebel the outlaw, and when the United States conquered half of Mexico in the name of Manifest Destiny, Mexicans put their hopes for revenge in scofflaws such as [Joaquin Murrieta], a California bandit," and, "about 60 years later, during the Mexican Revolution, people rallied around a pair of outlaw insurgents: [Emilano Zapata] and Pancho Villa. * General Emilano Zapata (from the South of Mexico) and General Francisco "Pancho" Villa (from the North), were the great revolutionary of the 1910 revolution that were martyred in their struggle to end the feudal system of Dictator, Porfirio Díaz, who ruled Mexico for thirty-five long years (1876-19...

From the time the smoke cleared from the 1910 Mexican Revolution until the 20th century ended, our neighbor nation was run by warlords and their successors who formed a "revolutionary party." The firm hands of Sonorans lvaro Obregn, Plutarco Elas Calles and Abelardo Rodrguez formed a bureaucracy that could, they insisted, do no wrong, because everything it did was in the name of -- hand to heart, bugles in the background -- la revolucin. With Miguel Alemn in the wake of World War II, generals gave way to well-educated briefcase-carriers, and the party thrived in its new institutionalized-revolutionary form: PRI's logo, in the national colors of red, green and white, became an eye-numbing part of the landscape from Chiapas to Chihuahua.

The Catholic Church in Chiapas, Mexico seems to have committed itself to empowering the poor in this region and consequently have chosen to accompany these people along their road to democracy and land rights. The Mexican Catholic Church has played various roles in the country's history including active participant in Mexican independence, privileged landowner, and liberal social activist. Economic disparity has prompted action by the Mexican Catholic Church. The church has trained thousands of lay people called catequistas to serve the religious as well as the physical, educational, political and social needs of their communities.
