This book explores the legal culture of nineteenth-century Mexico and explains why liberal institutions flourished in some social settings but not others.

Recenzje

'Schaefer gives us a bold, powerful and clearly written book … Schaefer's study, in other words, deserves a wide readership among scholars of Mexico, Latin America and political regimes in the nineteenth-century world.' Edward Beatty, The English Historical Review
