In Barbarous Mexico, the author draws from his personal experiences and extensive travels throughout Mexico in the late 1900s to paint a vivid picture of the conditions that sparked the Mexican Revolution of 1910. He reveals the harrowing reality of government-sanctioned human rights abuses on tobacco and corn plantations in Central and Southeastern Mexico, forcing peasants and the working class to choose between their lives and the fight for revolution. Turner offers a stark depiction of political and ethnic oppression, highlighting how President Diazs policies not only sustained this brutal system but also attracted the complicity of foreign interests. Ultimately, he inspires listeners with a hopeful vision of the resilience and spirit of the Mexican people. (Summary by Mario Pineda)Copyright Assorted Non Fiction 世界 政治・政府 政治学 社会科学 科学
