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
crónicas—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.
