Overview
Benito Juárez ha sido un personaje muy controversial en la historia de México. Es amado o es odiado.
¿Fue un autoritario o un patriota? ¿Sólo conocemos al Juárez de las monografías escolares o tenemos un conocimiento real de su propuesta política? ¿Fue un vendepatrias? ¿Se equivocó en la Ciudadela? ¿Pudo morir tranquilo o cargaba en su conciencia el asesinato de Maximiliano?
La imagen de Benito Juárez está distorsionada; por esta razón, dentro de la Colección Cara o cruz decidimos resucitar a Juárez como personaje histórico a través de los ensayos de la historiadora Angélica Vázquez del Mercado y del divulgador Alejandro Rosas, quienes, cansados de escuchar una y otra vez todo lo que Benito Juárez no es, decidieron mostrarlo a los lectores de una manera muy sencilla en su contexto histórico, de 1806 a 1872, de donde nunca debió salir.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Benito Juarez has been a very controversial character in the history of Mexico. He is either loved or hated.
Was he a patriot or an authoritarian? Do we only know Juárez from school essays written about him, or do we have actual knowledge of his political proposals? Was he a traitor? Did he die peacefully or did he carry Maximilian’s murder in his conscience?
Benito Juarez’ image has often been distorted; for this reason, under the Heads or Tails Collection, historian Angelica Vázquez del Mercado and communicator Alejandro Rosas have decided to bring Juarez back as a historical figure through written essays. Tired of hearing over and over all that Benito Juárez is not, they decided to show Juarez to readers in a very simple way within that historical context, from 1806 to 1872, from where he should have never left.
