OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
