The period 1968-1976 in Mexico is characterized by an expanded cultural infrastructure and an acute expression of ideas with not inconsequential political ramifications. Such an intellectual configuration is one of the key elements in Mexican history, with periodic evidence available at least since the eighteenth century of ideological and educational movements that paralleled governmental reform or influenced a theory of state. This experience demonstrates how intellectuals may help tilt history in a certain direction as well as transmit an illustrative documentation of change. Not the least noteworthy legacy of the recent period was its impact on Mexican studies in generating a preoccupation with the intellectual and the state.
