GUERRA MANZO, Enrique. Pensar la revolución mexicana: tres horizontes de interpretación. Secuencia [online]. 2006, n.64, pp.50-78. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i64.951.

This essay reviews the main exponents of each of the three generations of the Mexican revolution of 1910 scholars that emerged in the 20th century, paying particular attention to the horizons of interpretation on which they placed the revolution and its results. Its main argument is that if one wishes to break the stalemate reached by revisionist literature, the last of the three generations, it is essential not only to determine the maps of the debate but also to realize the need for a dual methodological perspective, combining commitment (the position assumed by the first two generations) and distancing (the central position of revisionism).
