With the electrification of Mexico came new modes of transportation, trolleys, which raised the threat of accidents and related anxieties over modernity in general. It also brought attempts both to regulate electricity and to steal it, which MontanÌo uses to show the many new ways in which people were employing electricity, such as new electrical appliances in the kitchen. These, in turn, shaped understandings of gender, class, race, and culinary nationalism throughout the first half of the twentieth century"--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Sensing the beautiful stranger -- Exhibiting the electric city -- Trapped under the wheels of modernity -- Ladrones de Luz : a scripted electricscape, 1901-1918 -- Becoming Electro-DomeÌsticas : electrical appliances, maids, and middle-class domesticity, 1930s-1950s -- The people, their electricscape, and the vanguard of labor, 1930s-1960 -- Conclusion: ¡La Electricidad es Nuestra!
