Sex in Revolution: Gender, Politics, and Power in Modern Mexico

"This anthology touches on a wide range of themes: female colonels in the revolution, machismo applied with scissor snips in Mexico City, the cinematographic treatment of indigenous women, divorce in conservative circles, women's education, the construction of new families, labor-union life, rationalized sex, activism among women in Catholic and rural organizations, and sexism in the Popular Front. Despite the variety, the book offers a complex, coherent panorama, energetically distancing itself from generalizations. It is well known that God, the devil, and attentive readers are in the details."-Carlos MonsivÁis, from the forewordSex in Revolution: Gender, Politics, and Power in Modern Mexico, was published 2007 under ISBN 9780822338840 and ISBN 082233884X.
