Several readers of this blog have asked me these days I recommend reading some critics, that I like. Produce this list on the fly, so do not read that say that are either the best or the only ones. They're just a starting point. I made three rules for this: they were recent texts (with one exception), which are critical writing about Mexico and Mexicans to get into Mexico. Here are, in a completely random order:
1. Evodio Escalante. José Gorostiza between redemption and catastrophe . Juan Pablo 2001.
A bright and wonderful reading Gorostiza. Sadly, Casa Juan Pablos already closed and can not find a listing of books in the website. If you find it buy it, is a gem.
2. Heriberto Yepez. Everything is different. Catch the light-time language . Inland , 2002
A brilliant and provocative book, like much of what he writes Yépez. Here's your mind at its highest point.
3. Jezreel Salazar, ed. essential consciousness. Essays on Carlos Monsivais . Inland , 2009
A good sample of young critics (full disclosure, in this and the other I am included, but I mean, of course, the other). Also see books on Pitol and Reyes.
4. Maricruz Castro and Aline Petterson, eds. A vacuum always full. Josefina Vicens . Tec de Monterrey Conaculta, 2008.
The Workshop Diana Moran is a critical group of women who have produced an avalanche of valuable critical interventions in Mexico. Everything is recommended, but it is certainly Vicens famous for the greatness of their subject.
5. Jorge Aguilar Mora. A simple death, just, eternal. Era, 1990.
A critical tour de force. The best book on the Revolution in culture.
6. Christopher Domínguez Michael. Life Fray Servando. was 2007.
A monument critical. Michael Dominguez Although much has been written very good short text, this book is proof that it is a great critical mind.
7. Margarita León. memory time. Ediciones Coyoacán, 2004
An excellent example of academic criticism. A dramatic reading of Elena Garro.
8. Pedro Ángel Palou. The house of silence. El Colegio de Michoacán. 1997.
An essential contribution to reading contemporary group dle. Theoretically sound, well written, well thought out.
