Pancho Villa Vs Zapata Analysis

501 Words3 Pages

Francisco Villa also known as “ pancho” and Emiliano Zapata where two revolutionaries who experienced the oppression of politicians in Mexico and because of that they devoted their lives to change this. Even though their aims were different they also shared some similarities which leads us to ask the question: What were the aims of Pancho villa and Emiliano Zapata in the Mexican Revolution between 1910-1923 and what were the similarities and differences they had ? Two sources that will help us answer this question are the document called plan of ayala from 1911 which is the original copy taken from the camp in the Mountains of Puebla which is signed by Emiliano Zapata and a journal article called The Life and Times of Pancho Villa by Friedrich Katz. This are two very important sources because …show more content…

This journal article tells us the story of Pancho Villa and his aim to a land reform and how he went about it with an agrarian reform in 1913 but even though he makes an attempt to portray Pancho Villa as an agrarian revolutionary it isn't convincing enough. The value of this, is that since it's a secondary source we are able to get a more analized view of his aim and we also get a very detailed explanation of the social, political, and economic stages and in this journal article Friedrich Katz analyzes some primary sources like memoirs and newspapers of that time period. Since it's not a primary source it has a limitation since we are getting the detail picture through the description of Friedrich Katz and not Pancho Villa and we are confronted by an attempt of Friedrich Katz to portray Francisco Villa as an agrarian revolutionary so we can see that what Katz writes in his journal article is just information to support why Francisco Villa was an agrarian revolutionary which can lead for Katz to analyze documents that would prove otherwise even though it would help us understand the whole

Land Reform: Emiliano Zapata And Pancho Villa

1034 Words | 5 Pages

In the Journal article The Life and Times of Pancho Villa we can see how even though they both wanted land reform they were completely different. First of all the way of fighting was completely different he wasn't much of a guerilla style fighter rather an all cavalry army who had men trained to use weapons. Land reform was important to Pancho Villa the main reason for it wasn't to give it back to the campesinos like Emiliano Zapata but the economy behind it was the reason driving this land reform. Francisco Villa was more of a politician so his reasons were more political and economical.

Quixote's Soldiers Summary

741 Words | 3 Pages

For this book review, I am going to be talking about David Montejano’s book entitled Quixote’s Soldiers, A local history of the Chicano Movement, 1966-1981. The author’s purpose is very well explained and it is not hard to understand. The author clearly tries to explain different ideologies, individuals and organizations located in one of the Southwest’s major cities, San Antonio, Texas, during the late 1960s and early 190s. All these varieties mentioned above made possible that a movement was created called Chicano Movement, a group that David Montejano provides a deeply understanding and description of the movement during the reading of the book. Since, the city was governed by a tough Anglosocial elite that was firmly convinced in the way

Examples Of Dialectical Journal For Don Quixote

441 Words | 2 Pages

Journal The first part of Don Quixote came to an end as Sancho Panza and Don Quixote reached their town in La Mancha, naturally Cervantes begins part two in the same setting. His struggle with part two must have been with the incorporation of his complex and evolving characters in part 2. The idea of ‘Quixotification’ and ‘Sanchification’ was introduced to the reader quite vaguely in part one of the novel, as a change in character is a slow and steady process, but in part two, right from the beginning, these changes are emphasized by Cide Hamete Benegeli and made very apparent to even a non-critical reader. Sancho’s conversation with his wife is a prime example of Quixotification.

Villism In The Underdogs By Mariano Azuela

534 Words | 3 Pages

In his work “The Underdogs”, Mariano Azuela is able to master the spirit of villismo regarding both its theoretic, underlying principles as well as the movement’s subsequent physical manifestations. Though significant characters conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the humble agrarian spirit central to villismo’s origin, characters in this text also exhibit the disruptive, callous behavior that is more characteristic of the federalist forces and dictatorships they aimed to unseat. Moreover, Demetrio’s degenerating understanding of the reason he’s fighting, coupled with his few instances of immorality, symbolizes the collapse of villismo morality into its culminating bandit-ridden reality. Cowboys, farmers, and other agrarian people suffering from land and labor oppression united together as the diverse “pieces of a great social movement [to] exalt their motherland” . Demetrio and Solis embody this original character of villismo revolution, as they maintain a moral, humanitarian compass throughout the novel.

19th Century Mexican Art Essay

1241 Words | 5 Pages

During the 19th century, there were many artists who were under the impression that they could not create art pieces such as, modernist abstraction, naturalistic realism, panoramic landscape, or reclining nudes (Pohl 359). This led to the artists traveling south of Mexico in the 1920s (Pohl 359). Mexico’s artistic scene, cheaper cost of living, beautiful climate, and intriguing culture caught the interest of a lot of different artists and pursued them moving (Pohl 359). The image so many artists were interested in capturing through their works of art was the faultless Mexican peasant rather than the radical one (Pohl 360). This concept they had was formed off the tourist writings (Pohl 360).
