About the Book

Challenges the consensus of a simplistic Church-State reconciliation in post-revolutionary Mexico and reveals instead a cultural power struggle between entrenched elite factions Reconciling Modernity challenges the academic consensus of a simplistic Church-State reconciliation in post-revolutionary Mexico and reveals instead a cultural power struggle between entrenched elite factions, each intending to define Mexico's national identity. Using documents found in regional archives, Daniel Newcomer provides a new interpretation of how radically opposed conservative and revolutionary elites came to a political detente in the traditional Catholic stronghold of Leon, Guanajuato, during the 1940s. Leon's conservatives sought to limit the influence of the revolutionary government because state-sponsored modernization projects threatened local character and institutions. Tensions regarding the extent of state power culminated in the 1946 Leon massacre, during which government troops gunned down more than two dozen citizens. As the defining moment in local history, the violent confrontation helped solidify a new elite consensus, or an "official story,".

About the Author :
Daniel Newcomer is an assistant professor of history at Stephen F. Austin University in Nacogdoches, Texas.

Review :
“Newcomer compiles an enviable record of original and archival sources; indeed, a third of the book is devoted to his sources. Employing an eclectic methodology, he analyzes materials such as city plats and maps published by the government and the opposition to help explain their differing urban visions. . . . Reconciling Modernity is an imaginative and thorough accounting of local political history as a means of understanding a larger, important context in twentieth-century Mexico.”—Roderic Ai Camp, Hispanic American Historical Review
