This history book re-examines the distinct roles that four influential photographers each played in helping to define, for the first time ever, a national identity for Mexico. The photographers are Agustin Victor Casasola, the American Walter H. Horne, Italian Tina Modotti, and Manuel Alvarez Bravo. Each produced iconic images during the tumultuous years of revolution and post-revolution, 1910-1935.
