Ulises criolo A Mexican Ulysses: an Autobiography José Vasconcelos 2 www.libros.unam.mx History By the same author El viento de Bagdad José Vasconcelos Letras de México Los robachicos José Vasconcelos Ediciones Botas José Vasconcelos: hombre, educador y candidato José Vasconcelos Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Readership • Students and professors of Mexican history • Historians of modern Mexico • Researchers on Mexican national identity • Readers of autobiographies An epic of man and nation, Ulises Criollo constitutes the first volume of an autobiography by José Vasconcelos, who was a prolific writer and Mexican philosopher, pioneer in public education, and promotor of the Fine Arts. Written while in exile, the book provides a most critical perspective on Mexican post-revolutionary governments. While its sharp prose denounced the failings of culture and politics, it served to solidify the promise of a moral regeneration for the country. A polemical text— which is probably why it went through five editions during the first year it was published—Ulises Criollo takes the reader on the spiritual journey of one of Hispanic-America’s most lucid thinkers. 1st edition: unam-México, 2007 ISBN: 978-970-32-4926-8 MSRP $13.75
