The underdogs : a new translation, contexts, criticism
\"Mariano Azuela's 1915 novel Los de Abajo, here newly translated, is a fictional account of the Mexican Revolution through which he lived.

Ilan Stavans and Anna More have freshly rendered the Spanish into English, which is here included with a number of contextual and critical materials by authors such as Octavio Paz, Waldo Frank, and Subcomandante Marcos to help students position the book in history and in today's world\") -- Provided by publisher.

Equestrian rebels : critical perspectives on Mariano Azuela and the novel of the Mexican revolution
Mariano Azuela (Mexico, 1873-1952) was a medical doctor by profession, recipient of Mexico's Premio Nacional de Literatura (1949), a distinguished member of El Colegio Nacional and, by mid-century, one of Mexico's leading novelists and literary critics. The author of novels, novellas, plays, biographies, and literary criticism, Azuela served as field doctor under Francisco Villa during the Mexican Revolution and, after Villa's military defeats in 1915, published Los de abajo (The Underdogs, 1915) while in exile in El Paso, Texas. This book of essays commemorates the first centenary of Los de abajo, and traces its impact on twentieth-century autobiographies, memoirs and, more specifically, on the Novel of the Mexican Revolution. Equestrian Rebels: Critical Perspectives on Mariano Azuela and the Novel of the Mexican Revolution includes a full-length introduction and nineteen essays by leading international scholars who study Azuela and other novelists of the Mexican Revolution - such as Martín Luis Guzmán, Nellie Campobello and, among others, José Rubén Romero - from current, yet contrasting and innovative theoretical perspectives. Especially written for this volume, these critical essays are grouped into five sections that separately probe and analyze Azuela's realism and contemporary affinities with photography; Azuela's literary criticism; centennial studies on Los de abajo; critical approaches to other novels by Azuela; three independent analyses of Nellie Campobello's Cartucho (1931); and a concluding section on literary representations of Mexican colonialism and revolution in the narratives of Juan Rulfo (El llano en llamas), Carlos Fuentes (Gringo viejo), and David Toscana (El último lector). This book will be of importance to scholars, teachers, students, and the general reader interested in topics related to the literary, cultural, and
political forces and conflicts that led to the transformation of Mexico into a modern nation.

Aproximaciones a la narrativa de la Revolución Mexicana : didáctica de la literatura hispanoamericana del siglo XX
En este volumen se abordan tres grandes temas sobre la narrativa de la Revolución Mexicana: una indagación del tratamiento literario que dan a la violencia desatada por esta lucha armada, a sus antecedentes y a los conflictos que la siguieron Heriberto Frías, Mariano Azuela, Rafael F. Muñoz, Martín Luis Guzmán, Nellie Campobello y Juan Rulfo; estudios sobre novelas y cuentos de autores regionales dignos de un mayor reconocimiento, como José María Dávila, Jorge Ferretis, Agustín Vera y Jesús R. Alderete, y debates sobre personajes femeninos que van de las soldaderas anónimas a figuras señeras, como la Santa de Cabora y Jesusa Palancares. Esta obra abre un amplio espacio para la confrontación y el debate y, lejos de llegar a conclusiones definitivas, aspira a generar una animada y concurrida arena para la discusión.
