This title examines Mexican politics in the wake of Cardenismo, and
the dawn of Miguel Aleman's presidency. This new book focuses on
the decade of the 1940s, and analyzes Alcmanismo into the early
years of the 1950s. Based upon a decade of intensive investigation,
it is the first broad and substantial study of the political life
of the Mexican nation during this period, thus opening a new era to
historical investigation.
Analytical yet lively, mixing political and cultural history,
Mexico in the 1940s captures the humor, passion, and significance
of Mexico during the World War II and post-war years when Mexicans
entered the era called "the miracle" because of the nation's
economic growth and political stability. Niblo develops the case
that the Mexico of today -- politically and executively
centralized, stressing business and industry, corrupt, ignoring the
needs of the majority of the population -- has its roots in the
decade and a half after 1940.
Finally, Mexico in the 1940s offers a unique interpretation of
Mexican domestic politics in this period, including an explanation
of how political leaders were able to reverse the course of the
Mexican Revolution in the 1940s; an original interpretation of
corruption in Mexican political life, a phenomenon that did not end
in the 1940s; and an analysis of the relationship between the U.S.
media interests, the Mexican state and the Mexican media companies
that still dominate mass communication today.
