Miguel Pro: Martyrdom and Politics in Twentieth-Century Mexico examines the complex relationship of modern martyrdom as preserved by memory and factual truth, and as retold through stories intended to impel political and religious aims. Martyr narratives depend on institutional affiliation to remain in the public memory, and are altered in order to maintain their ability to mobilize followers within changing social and political contexts. In order to examine the evolution of lasting martyr narratives, López-Menéndez scrutinizes the various renditions of the 1927 execution of Miguel Pro, a Jesuit priest caught in the bloody conflict between Catholics and the post-revolutionary state.

Lopez-Menendez masterfully constructs the Pro-as-martyr narrative.... Perhaps the most notable strength of this scholarly work is the contextualization the author establishes in the debate about the martyrdom of Father Pro.... Lopez-Menendez’s Miguel Pro is an engagingly written, carefully researched, and impressively diverse examination of the making of a martyr. It makes a major contribution to the fields of religious studies, sociology, and Mexican history and politics in the twentieth century. It will surely be established as a significant synthetic text and find its way into many scholarly libraries.
