Memorias / Memoirs


Overview

En el 50 aniversario luctuoso de su autor, esta nueva edición de Memorias constituye una oportunidad invaluable para acercar su legado a nuevas generaciones. «No intentaré relatar toda mi vida, sino aquellos tramos que por una razón o por otra puedan despertar cierta curiosidad e interés». Con esta advertencia, Daniel Cosío Villegas nos introduce en su trayectoria vital: un rico testimonio histórico, literario y político del siglo XX. Desde la Revolución mexicana, el cardenismo, la reforma universitaria y el autoritarismo del PRI hasta las dictaduras latinoamericanas, el exilio español y la Guerra Fría, estas memorias ofrecen una visión amplia de la historia cotidiana y no tan cotidiana de México, y revelan la persona detrás de instituciones culturales como El Colegio de México o el Fondo de Cultura Económica, entre muchas otras que siguen vigentes hoy. En el 50 aniversario luctuoso de su autor, esta nueva edición de Memorias constituye una oportunidad invaluable para acercar su legado a nuevas generaciones de lectores, historiadores, políticos, educadores y ciudadanos, pues muchos de los temas que abordó --autoritarismo, simulación democrática, corrupción, desconfianza institucional-- siguen presentes en el debate académico y nacional. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION On the 50th anniversary of the author's passing, this new edition of Memorias offers an invaluable opportunity to bring his legacy to new generations. ""I will not attempt to recount my entire life, but only those passages that, for one reason or another, may awaken some curiosity and interest."" With this warning, Daniel Cosío Villegas invites us into his life story: a rich historical, literary, and political testimony of the twentieth century. From the Mexican Revolution, Cardenismo, university reform, and PRI authoritarianism to Latin American dictatorships, Spanish exile, and the Cold War, these memoirs provide a broad vision of Mexico's everyday and not-so-everyday history, while revealing the man behind cultural institutions such as El Colegio de México and the Fondo de Cultura Económica, among many others that remain relevant today. On the 50th anniversary of his death, this new edition of Memorias is an invaluable chance to bring his legacy closer to new generations of readers, historians, politicians, educators, and citizens, since many of the issues he addressed--authoritarianism, democratic simulation, corruption, institutional distrust--remain central to academic and national debate.
