Corinna Zeltsman is a historian specializing in Modern Latin America, with a particular focus on the historical interplay of printing, political culture, and labor in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Mexico. Her book, 'Ink Fingernails: Printing Politics in Nineteenth-Century Mexico' (UC Press, 2021), reconstructs the practical negotiations and discursive contests surrounding print during a period of significant political transformation, from the late colonial era to the Mexican Revolution. By centering on the diverse communities that operated urban presses, Zeltsman's research delves into the social practices and aspirations of these communities, exploring how the interactions between printers, the state, and religious authorities influenced broader debates around press freedom and authorship. Her new research project investigates the societal impacts of paper in post-independence Mexico, contributing to the understanding of state formation, political culture, and technological environments in the region.
