A Socialist Pronunciamiento: Julio López Chávez's Uprising of 1868 -- Bibliography -- Contributors Summary Behind every pronunciamiento, a formal list of grievances designed to spark political change in nineteenth-century Mexico, was a disgruntled individual, rebel, or pronunciado. Initially a role undertaken by soldiers, a pronunciado rallied military communities to petition for local, regional, and even national interests. As the popularity of these petitions grew, however, they evolved from a military-led practice to one endorsed and engaged by civilians, priests, Indigenous communities, and politicians. The second in a series of books exploring the phenomenon of the pronunciamiento, this volume examines case studies of individual and collective pronunciados in regions across Mexico. Top scholars examine the motivations of individual pronunciados and the reasons they succeeded or failed; why garrisons, town councils, and communities adopted the pronunciamiento as a political tool and form of representation and used it to address local and national grievances; and whether institutions upheld corporate aims in endorsing, supporting, or launching pronunciamientos. The essays provide a better understanding of the rebel leaders behind these public acts of defiance and reveal how an insurrectionary repertoire became part of a national political culture Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Print version record Subject Political culture -- Mexico -- History -- 19th century Political violence -- Mexico -- History -- 19th century Revolutions -- Mexico -- History -- 19th century Revolutionaries -- Mexico -- History -- 19th century Government, Resistance to -- Mexico -- History -- 19th century Legitimacy of governments -- Mexico -- History -- 19th century HISTORY -- Latin America -- Mexico.
