Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Unintended Lessons of Revolution by Tanalís Padilla Tanalís Padilla traces the history of the normales rurales—rural schools in Mexico that trained campesino teachers—and outlines how despite being intended to foster a modern, patriotic citizenry, they became sites of radical politics. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In the 1920s, Mexico established rural normales-boarding schools that trained teachers in a new nation-building project. Drawn from campesino ranks and meant to cultivate state allegiance, their graduates would facilitate land distribution, organize civic festivals, and promote hygiene campaigns. In Unintended Lessons of Revolution, Tanalis Padilla traces the history of the rural normales, showing how they became sites of radical politics. As Padilla demonstrates, the popular longings that drove the Mexican Revolution permeated these schools. By the 1930s, ideas about land reform, education for the poor, community leadership, and socialism shaped their institutional logic. Over the coming decades, the tensions between state consolidation and revolutionary justice produced a telling contradiction: the very schools meant to constitute a loyal citizenry became hubs of radicalization against a government that increasingly abandoned its commitment to social justice. Crafting a story of struggle and state repression, Padilla illuminates educations radical possibilities and the nature of political consciousness for youths whose changing identity-from campesinos, to students, to teachers-speaks to Mexicos twentieth-century transformations. Author Biography Tanalís Padilla is Professor of History at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and author of Rural Resistance in the Land of Zapata: The Jaramillista Movement and the Myth of the Pax-Priísta, 1940–1962, also published by Duke University Press.

Rural schoolteachers in postrevolutionary Mexico served communities not only as instructors but also as community organizers, social workers, and secular confessors and pastors. Tanalís Padilla weaves together oral histories with local and national documentary evidence into an empirically rich study of how the rural normales endured as incubators of political radicalism despite their original purpose as instruments to co-opt resistance into the postrevolutionary regime." -- Jocelyn Olcott, Professor of History, Duke University"This is a tremendously impressive study of the rural normal school, which became a vibrant locale of social mobility, cultural change, and political mobilization of student-teachers at various stages in Mexican political history. This book transcends the constricted scope of a narrow institutional study to throw new light on a series of larger questions concerning Mexicos legacy of revolution, its failed rural policies, and the explosion of unrest among rural teachers and activists. It is a pleasure to read." -- Brooke Larson, author of * Trials of Nation Making: Liberalism, Race, and Ethnicity in the Andes, 1810–1910 *"Padilla draws on a rich array of archival sources and oral histories to tell this story, constructing a narrative that blends urban and rural events and perspectives and draws on episodes from various states. . . . Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty." -- J. M. Rosenthal * Choice *"Unintended Lessons of Revolution is a wonderful contribution to the rich historiography of agrarian history and student radicalism in Mexico." -- Kevan Antonio Aguilar * Journal of Social History *"Unintended Lessons of Revolution will be of particular interest to scholars of education, and especially its intersection with organized labor, statecraft, institutional dynamics, political consciousness, and revolutionary ideals. This book will also be useful for its narration of twentieth-century Mexican history through the lens of rural education." -- Finn West * Exertions *"Unintended Lessons of Revolution does much more than contextualize Ayotzinapa. It shows the profound power that the disenfranchised have, even from a position of dispossession, in occupying the imaginary of the state." -- Elena Jackson Albarran * HAHR *"Padilla excels at highlighting on-the-ground voices and experiences while providing the reader at the same time with a detailed description of policy shifts at the national level. In addition, the book is graced with a series of images drawn from archival sources and teacher-produced public art. . . . [T]he beauty of this book, and history more broadly, is in illustrating how the most humble among us become historical protagonists in unexpected ways." -- A.S. Dillingham * The Americas * Review Quote " Unintended Lessons of Revolution demonstrates that Mexicos rural normal schools may be the most durable legacy of the 1910 revolution. Rural schoolteachers in postrevolutionary Mexico served communities not only as instructors but also as community organizers, social workers, and secular confessors and pastors.
