Con Villa En México

Resumen del Libro

Important reference on the production and uses of images by the media and the revolution seen through the commercial interests of the American cinematographic industry. The book contains a selection of documents and photographs taken in the early 20th century by American photographers during the Mexican Revolution of who was then considered the No. 1 Enemy of the United States: Francisco Pancho Villa. Also includes period photographs of military mobilizations and some published caricatures, as well as images of President Venustiano Carranza and General John J. Pershing, who lead led an expeditionary force into Mexico to capture Villa. This way we can observe a coincidence between the emergence of cinematographic journalism and the beginning of the Mexican Revolution that will be a reason for the presence in Mexico of numerous American camera teams amongst the conflicting parts. –P. 38.
