This open access book discusses the relationship between
periodicals, tourism, and nation-building in Mexico. It enquires
into how magazines, a staple form of the promotional apparatus of
tourism since its inception, articulated an imaginative geography
of Mexico at a time when that industry became a critical means of
economic recovery and political stability after the Revolution.
Notwithstanding their vogue, popularity, reach, and close
affiliations to commerce and state over several decades, magazines
have not received any sustained critical attention in the
scholarship on that period. This book aims to redress that
oversight. It argues that illustrated magazines like Mexican
Folkways (1925-1937) and Mexico This Month (1955-1971) offer rich
and compelling materials in that regard, not only as unique tools
for interrogating the ramifications of tourism on the country's
reconstruction, but as autonomous objects of study that form a
vital if complex part of Mexico's visual culture.
