OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Lawless Robbery Under the Volcano: British Cultural Commentators on Revolutionary Mexico, 1920-40
Alan Knight is Professor Emeritus of the History of Latin America at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of St Antony’s College. He works on C20 Latin America, chiefly Mexico, with a focus on revolutions, state-building, and foreign relations/‘imperialism’. He is the author of The Mexican Revolution; Repensar la Revolución Mexicana; La Revolución Cósmica; two volumes of a general history of Mexico; Revolución, Democracia y Populismo en América Latina; and (forthcoming, as of Dec. 2015), The Mexican Revolution: A Very Short Introduction. He has co-edited volumes on the Mexican oil industry, Mexican caciquismo, the Great Depression in Latin America, and superstition in history. Late in life, he has taken the cultural turn, repudiated positivistic history, and (for the purposes of this paper) masquerades as a literary critic.
