Author: Agust\u00edn S\u00e1nchez Andr\u00e9s.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tomorrow Wednesday at 7pm, Casa Am\u00e9rica<\/strong> presents in its Miguel de Cervantes hall the book Pancho Villa. El personaje y su mito (Pancho Villa. The character and his myth), <\/em><\/strong>coinciding with the 100th anniversary of his assassination.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Doroteo Arango Ar\u00e1mbula, better known as Pancho Villa, is one of the most iconic and controversial figures of the Mexican Revolution. His memory was relegated, if not attacked, by the post-revolutionary regime, but his undoubted popularity, inside and outside Mexico, led to his incorporation into the revolutionary imaginary, with an image somewhere between idealised and brutal. Numerous intellectuals of different persuasions have tried to decipher it, without forgetting that it was Villa himself who nurtured its cinematographic and Hollywood dimension, being the main propagator of his legend. Villa’s story also symbolises the internal contradictions between the northern regions of Mexico and their tensions with the central power, as well as the country’s difficult relations with the United States. The forthcoming celebration of the centenary of his assassination is an ideal moment to publish an informative work that will make known the different facets of the man and the myth that was Pancho Villa.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n At the event, Enrique Ojeda,<\/strong> Director General of Casa de Am\u00e9rica, and Jaime Vigna G\u00f3mez, <\/strong>Deputy Director of the Instituto Cultural de M\u00e9xico, will address a welcoming speech. This will be followed by a round table discussion with the participation of Agust\u00edn S\u00e1nchez Andr\u00e9s,<\/strong> author of the book; Pedro P\u00e9rez Herrero, <\/strong>doctor in History and professor at the University of Alcal\u00e1, and Ascensi\u00f3n Mart\u00ednez Riaza, <\/strong>professor of American History at the Complutense University of Madrid.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pages:<\/strong> 192 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Casa Am\u00e9rica presents the book Pancho Villa.
