This book looks at the 1968 Summer Olympic Games as a complex
nation-building project. Sports mega-events have been mostly
studied as homogenous government-led strategies, but more work is
needed around the diverse reception and performances. The
preparation period for the Olympics in Mexico and especially the
year 1968 highlight the multiplicity of voices behind these
exercises. Beyond the government and associated networks, the
citizenry also used this mega-event to present an idea of Mexico to
the world and thus reshape citizenship and nationhood. This study
takes a bottom-up approach to look at the citizenry's experiences
of the 1968 Olympic Games, both the shared nationalistic values and
the areas of conflict.
