Research
Diomedes S. Rábago specializes in Twentieth-century Mexican literature and film, particularly the Post-Revolution period. His current research studies the reproduction of social distinction and its representations in literature, film, and social media. In exploring the cultural, social and ideological ramifications of the transition experienced by the elites, Rábago is seeking to shed light on how Mexican writers and, even more importantly, Mexican readers, helped to reconstruct the gente bien identity.
