In the decades following the Mexican Revolution, nation builders, artists, and intellectuals were in search of a new national identity. They manufactured ideologies and visual economies that positioned indigeneity as an idealized relic of the past and mestizaje as the race of the future. Varner traces the visual evolution of these identity tropes through beauty pageants, films, photographs, art, and other aspects of popular culture.

In the wake of the Mexican Revolution, Diego Rivera became one of the most famous painters in the world, as both his medium of public murals and his themes of popular culture and social transformation attracted new patrons, publics, and disciples.

Microsatellite typing can localize many elephants, though some individuals are frustratingly difficult. Adding the assumption that individuals in a single seizure are clustered relative to the whole continent improves assignment, though with some risk of over-clustering.
