During the independence era in Mexico, individuals and factions of
all stripes embraced the printing press as a key weapon in the
broad struggle for political power. Taking readers into the
printing shops, government offices, courtrooms, and streets of
Mexico City, historian Corinna Zeltsman reconstructs the practical
negotiations and discursive contests that surrounded print over a
century of political transformation, from the late colonial era to
the Mexican Revolution. Centering the diverse communities that
worked behind the scenes at urban presses and examining their
social practices and aspirations, Zeltsman explores how printer
interactions with state and religious authorities shaped broader
debates about press freedom and authorship. Beautifully crafted and
ambitious in scope, Ink under the Fingernails sheds new light on
Mexico's histories of state formation and political culture,
identifying printing shops as unexplored spaces of democratic
practice, where the boundaries between manual and intellectual
labor blurred.
