At that time the modernization that Mexico underwent produced a fierce struggle between the traditional and the new, exacerbating class antagonisms in the process. The noted historian William H. Beezley illuminates many facets of everyday Mexican life lying at the heart of this conflict and change, including sports, storytelling, health care, technology, and the traditional Easter‑time Judas burnings that became a primary focus of strife during those years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This updated volume provides a teacher’s guide, available on the University of Nebraska Press website, offering a manual of internet links, additional readings, and practice experiences that can be used in the classroom or by anyone who wants to go beyond the chapters of this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href='\"http:\/\/nebraska-press.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/25153810\/Judas_at_the_Jockey_Club_Discussion_Guide.pdf\"' target='\"blank\"'\u003eDownload the discussion guide.\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Preface to Third Edition\u003cbr\u003e Preface to Second Edition\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e The Porfirian Persuasion: Sport and Recreation in Modern Mexico\u003cbr\u003e Rocks and Rawhide in Rural Society: Tools and Technology in Porfirian Mexico\u003cbr\u003e Judas at the Jockey Club\u003cbr\u003e Afterword\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52599891099928,"sku":"9781496206909","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/judas-at-the-jockey-club-and-other-episodes-of-porfirian-mexico-paperback-softback-9781496206909","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
