Mexico City's Olympic GamesCitizenship and Nation Building, 1963-1968 /[electronic resource] :by Axel Elías. - 1st ed. 2021. - XII, 272 p.online resource. - Palgrave Studies in Sport and Politics,2365-9998. - Palgrave Studies in Sport and Politics,.

Chapter 1. A Bottom-up approach to Sports and Nation Building in Mexico -- Chapter 2: ‘The exact route to achieving success’: International Politics and Mexican State Formation during the Cold War -- Chapter 3. ‘We do not want Olympics, we want revolution’: The Student Movement and the XIX Olympiad, July - October 1968 -- Chapter 4. ‘Everything is possible in peace’: State Repression, Nationalism and Politics of Silence, 2-12 October 1968 -- Chapter 5: ‘What a marvellous people and what a fabulous party’: The Cultural Politics of Emotions during the XIX Olympic Games, 12-27 October 1968 -- Chapter 6: The Political Consequences of the XIX Olympiad.

This book looks at the 1968 Summer Olympic Games as a complex nationbuilding project. Sports mega-events have been mostly studied as homogenous government-led strategies, but more work is needed around the diverse reception and performances. The preparation period for the Olympics in Mexico and especially the year 1968 highlight the multiplicity of voices behind these exercises. Beyond the government and associated networks, the citizenry also used this mega-event to present an idea of Mexico to the world and thus reshape citizenship and nationhood. This study takes a bottom-up approach to look at the citizenry’s experiences of the 1968 Olympic Games, both the shared nationalistic values and the areas of conflict.
