The Sierra Gorda Pronunciamientos of 1848–1849 and the Origins of Popular Conservatism in Mexico
No full textThis chapter is concerned with the emergence of popular conservatism in Mexico. It argues that its roots can be found in the pronunciamientos (revolts) that erupted in the Sierra Gorda mountain range of central Mexico in the aftermath of the 1846–1848 war with the United States, particularly in ultra-conservative cavalry officer Tomás Mejía’s plan of San José de los Amoles. As argued here, when Mejía rebelled, albeit briefly in early in June 1848, he gave voice and direction to a movement that was engaged both with upholding conservative values and addressing agrarian demands. The combination of fundamentalist conservative Catholic beliefs and agrarian-indigenous mobilization would prove, under Mejía’s leadership, a particularly explosive and resilient force in the Sierra Gorda for well over a decade thereafter, and its origins are to be found in the post-war “forgotten years.

El pronunciamiento mexicano del siglo XIX : Hacia una nueva tipología
No full textTras la guerra de Independencia (1810-1821) estallaron más de 1 500 pronunciamientos entre el Plan de Iguala de 1821 y el Plan de Tuxtepec de 1876. En varios casos degeneraron en enfrentamientos de una violencia atroz como el saqueo del Parián en la ciudad de México de 1828. En otros resultaron en guerras civiles brutales (1832, 1854-1855, 1858-1860). En muchos casos, sin embargo, sus demandas fueron atendidas o sofocadas dependiendo de cuántos pronunciamientos de adhesión recibieron. Este artículo busca redefinir la práctica del pronunciamiento en México, haciendo hincapié en el protagonismo que tuvieron grupos e instituciones civiles al adoptar este medio legítimo, aunque no constitucional, para forzar cambios políticos tanto a nivel regional como nacional durante las primeras décadas nacionales.Peer reviewe
