Mexico, La Patria by Monica A Rankin

Mexico, La Patria by Monica A Rankin

A study of the use of propaganda in Mexico during WWII to promote a policy of national unity and patriotism. It examines the pervasive domestic and foreign propaganda strategies in Mexico during World War II and their impact on Mexican culture, charting the evolution of these campaigns through popular culture, advertisements, and art.

" Rankin's book is a welcome addition to the field of postrevolutionary Mexican studies.. Hopefully, her study will serve as a basis for future studies that seek to broaden our understanding of the ways in which propaganda was received at the local level. "-Andrae Marak, H-Net -- Andrae Marak H-Net "Monica Rankin offers a reminder from a new generation that much remains to be examined about Latin America and World War II."-Friedrich E. Schuler, The Americas -- Friedrich E. Schuler The Americas "Rankin's central premise that the U.S. and Mexican governments use propaganda to rally popular support for the war lends itself to comparative analysis of other countries during World War II or other wars. And, in today's wartime era, this makes Rankin's book timely and essential reading for historians of modern Mexico and U.S.-Mexican relations."-John J. Dwyer, American Historical Review -- John J.
