Speaker:
Paul Gillingham (DPhil, Oxon, 2006) specialises in politics, culture and violence in modern Mexico, and has published numerous articles and book chapters on these subjects. His first book,
Cuauhtémoc’s Bones: Forging National Identity in Modern Mexico (University of New Mexico Press, 2011), was awarded the Conference on Latin American History’s Mexican history prize. He is co-editor of
Dictablanda: Politics, Work, and Culture in Mexico, 1938-1968 (Duke University Press, 2014), and is currently working on three projects: an edited volume on journalism, satire and censorship, a monograph on political violence and a national history of twentieth-century Mexico. Gillingham is Director of Northwestern’s Latin American & Caribbean Studies Program, and co-edits the Violence in Latin American History series at the University of California Press.
This session was chaired by Dr Bill Booth and it is part of the new ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Institute of the Americas Democracy and Governance in the Americas Seminar series, convened by DrÌýNéstor Castañeda.
