Editorial Reviews

"Heartbreaking. . . . A massive chronicle that builds to the night of the Tlatelolco massacre in an accumulation of skillfully crosscut eyewitness accounts."—Publishers Weekly

"Massacre in Mexico is a monument of a work. By turns pathetic and enraging, lyrical and humorous, this 'collage' of 'voices bearing historical witness,' as the author has described it, offers a steady gaze into Mexico's soul."—The News, Mexico City

From the Publisher

Poniatowska reports on the massacre of 325 unarmed Mexican students who were peacefully protesting police repression one week prior to the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City.

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly

Essential reading for those interested in the Tlatelolco massacre or state repression in Latin America, this 1971 journalistic account by the award-winning novelist reports on the massacre of 325 unarmed Mexican students, workers, and teachers who were peacefully protesting police repression one week before the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. Poniatowska (1932- ) skillfully constructs the buildup to the night of the massacre through compelling firsthand accounts of those who witnessed one of the worst cases of Mexican state repression.
