Visions of the Emerald City: Modernity, Tradition, and the Formation of Porfirian Oaxaca, Mexico
Mark Overmyer-Velazquez
Offers an analysis of how Mexicans living in Oaxaca City experienced "modernity" during the lengthy "Order and Progress" dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz. This book describes how Oaxacans, both elites and commoners, crafted and manipulated practices of tradition and modernity to define themselves and their city as integral parts of a modern Mexico.
