Exploring the cultural revolution of the 1920s and 1930s in Mexico, Rubén Gallo highlights five key artifacts—cameras, typewriters, radios, cement, and stadiums—that transformed art and literature. Rather than traditional rebels, the revolutionaries were artists and writers who sought to challenge outdated aesthetics through innovative technologies. Gallo's narrative illustrates how these tools not only reshaped artistic expression but also redefined cultural representation in a rapidly modernizing society.
