From covering the massacre of students at Tlatelolco in 1968 and
the 1985 earthquake to the Zapatista rebellion in 1994 and the
disappearance of forty-three students in 2014, Elena Poniatowska
has been one of the most important chroniclers of Mexican social,
cultural, and political life. In Stories That Make History, Lynn
Stephen examines Poniatowska's writing, activism, and political
participation, using them as a lens through which to understand
critical moments in contemporary Mexican history. In her
cronicas-narrative journalism written in a literary style featuring
firsthand testimonies-Poniatowska told the stories of Mexico's most
marginalized people. Throughout, Stephen shows how Poniatowska
helped shape Mexican politics and forge a multigenerational
political community committed to social justice. In so doing, she
presents a biographical and intellectual history of one of Mexico's
most cherished writers and a unique history of modern Mexico.
