Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2577 The 1968 Mexican student movement, and its tragic repression in Tlaltelolco, revealed that the project of modernization, the so-called Mexican Miracle, as well as the authoritarian political practices of the official party (PRI) could not fulfill social and political demands of the population.
