What is certain is that, in the specific case of Mexico, this reception process was marked by conjunctures and structural changes that represented the end of one regime—the Porfiriato—and the rise and consolidation of another—the revolutionary. On the one hand, during the former, the sense of Francization reigned in the breast of a small but powerful urban elite. On the other hand, the governors who emerged from the Revolution were, initially, inclined to foment a nationalism in which the resurgence of the arts in the country was based on the revival of the pre-Hispanic world. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Resource Types::text::book::book part
