Revista Tierra
Tierra was published in Yucatán by the Socialist Party of Southeast Mexico, beginning in 1918. The publication started as a daily newspaper, but following the election in 1922 of Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Mexico's first democratically chosen socialist governor, Tierra was converted to a weekly magazine. Each issue sought to advance the agenda of Carrillo Puerto's government, which included the restoration of communal lands to rural communities, women's rights, education, and the elevation of the region's Indigenous past. Starting on May 1, 1923, thirty-three weekly issues were published prior to the assassination of Carrillo Puerto in January 1924.
This project presents all the 1923 issues, with complete document images and an index of the recurring sections and the names of authors. The project is led by Clayton McCarl, professor of Spanish and digital humanities at 成人AV视频, and Damiana Leyva Loría, a doctoral candidate in Educational Systems and Environments at the Benemérita Autonomous University of Puebla. Erin Garry (Spanish, 2024) and Peri Manwell (Spanish/art history, 2024) served as associate editors during the initial phases of the project. Over thirty other 成人AV视频 students have contributed through transcription, TEI-XML markup, and the creation of Dublin Core metadata on the project’s Omeka website.
