The Mexican Revolution was an armed struggle that took place in Mexico between the years of 1910 and 1920. The constant struggle took place during a 30 year dictatorship run by Porfirio Diaz. The Mexican Revolution ultimately ended the dictatorship and began a constitutional republic. The revolution united the working class in Mexico because they were tired of the dictatorship. It gave them power and strength to come together and start a revolution. Many famous literature works and art pieces came about during this time. Novels de la tierra is a realistic work that interprets and explains the surrounding life of a region. It explains the fight and struggle between nature and society. Indigenous art and literature represents the inhumane treatment and destruction of their civilizations. It calls upon the exploitation of the native culture and society. A problem for them would certainly be socioeconomic issues causing them to further struggle. Avant-guard proposes an irrational, out of the box thinking about life and art. There was also a drop in focus of logic and rhythm. Post-vanguard existentialism, the life of the inner world and any interruptions and abnormalities in life.
