Focusing on the visual aspects of national identity in post-Independence Mexico, the book explores the often-overlooked role of visual culture beyond renowned muralists. It spans from the early nineteenth century to modern times, analyzing how illustrated periodicals, literature, and the works of graphic artists, filmmakers, and photographers reflect and reshape discourses on ethnicity and cultural hybridity. The study highlights the eclectic and self-reflexive nature of Mexican visual discourse, revealing its complexity and significance in shaping national identity.
