URIAS HORCASITAS, Beatriz. An anti-revolutionary passion: Mexican hispanophile conservatism (1920-1960). Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2010, vol.72, n.4, pp.599-628. ISSN 2594-0651.

During the first half of the 20th century, party of the Conservative intelligentsia criticized the revolution from the perspective of the Spanish cultural legacy. The pro-Franco propaganda that spread throughout Latin America in the 1940s was carrying concepts and constituted a material support, facilitating the construction of this ideological proposal. Regardless of the fact that they were branded by the post-revolutionary state as anti-Mexican and reactionary, the His-panophiles managed to create an alternative social model that was interiorized by the upper and middle classes.

Keywords : hispanicism; the Franco system; anti-revolutionary ideology; traditional social morals.
