VIVIMOS LA REVOLUCIÓN: LOS VOCEROS DEL ALVARADISMO Y EL DISCURSO DE LA MEMORIA REVOLUCIONARIA EN YUCATÁN

This paper studies the role of literature and journalism in the formation of memory on the Revolution in Yucatan during the administration of Salvador Alvarado. The Alvarado administration created a system of political propaganda that tried to justify the Revolution as necessary; some intellectuals without being official propagandists appropriated this discourse and contributed, with their novels and newspaper articles, to forge the history and memory of Revolutionary Yucatan as voceros del alvaradismo. The literary and journalistic discourse based on the experiences of these authors soon joined the collective memory of Yucatan.
