In his writings, Jos<'e> Vasconcelos (1882-1959), a leading Mexican intellectual, turned his analytical eye to Latin culture and heritage. This study of his writing examines Vasconcelos as writer, social theorist, educator, and politician. It looks at his service as minister of education, his efforts to unite the relationship between race and spirit, his rediscovery of ancient Aztec beliefs as lessons for how Mexico could cure its social and political ills, and his campaign for presidency. Marentes teaches Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
