From the late nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth
century, Mexico experienced major transformations influenced by a
global progressive movement that thrived during the Mexican
Revolution and influenced Mexico's development during subsequent
governments. Engineers and other revolutionary technocrats were the
system builders who drew up the blueprints, printed newspapers,
implemented reforms, and constructed complexity-people who built
modern Mexico with an eye on remedying long-standing problems
through social, material, and infrastructural development during a
period of revolutionary change. In Apostle of Progress J. Justin
Castro examines the life of Modesto C. Rolland, a revolutionary
propagandist and a prominent figure in the development of Mexico,
to gain a better understanding of the role engineers played in
creating revolution-era policies and the reconstruction of the
Mexican nation. Rolland influenced Mexican land reform, petroleum
development, stadium construction, port advancements, radio
broadcasting, and experiments in political economy. In the telling
of Rolland's story, Castro offers a captivating account of the
Mexican Revolution and the influence of global progressivism on the
development of twentieth-century Mexico.
