By Lynn Stephen, Philip H. Knight Chair, Distinguished Professor of Arts and Sciences, Professor of Anthropology

Elena Poniatowska is one of Mexico's most important chroniclers of Mexican social, cultural, and political life. In Stories That Make History, Stephen examines Poniatowska's writing, activism, and political participation, using them as a lens through which to understand critical moments in contemporary Mexican history.
