About This Item
Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1968.. 8vo. 194 pp. Very Good. Hard Cover. Red cloth covered boards. Dust Jacket Good. Some loss and tears along top edge. Some toning. First Edition. B&W illustrations.This book examines the unique role a revolutionary army plays in the politics of a single country -- Mexico. It discusses the political process which characterizes revolutions and revolutionary regimes in the twentieth century. The general problem to which the author directs his analysis is that of introducing civilian control into a political structure still dominated by the generals who successfully brought about the Revolution and who supposedly represent its ideals. Provenance: from the Estate of Judy Stone (1924 –2017), The San Francisco Chronicle’s movie critic who for two decades was apassionate and articulate advocate for the world of cinema outside Hollywood. Judy Stone started at the San Francisco Chronicle in 1961, putting in 10 years as editor of the Datebook section. She began reviewing films for the paper in 1971, favoring arthouse films.She was the youngest of four politically minded children whose eldest brother was the great reporter and gadfly I. F. Stone.She won the Novikoff Award given for "enhancing the public's appreciation of world cinema.” Among her publications are “The Mystery of B. Traven” and "Eye on the World,” a collection of her interviews with filmmakers from the 1960s to the 1990s.
