Opis

Mexico since Independence brings together chapters from Volumes lll, V, and Vll of The Cambridge History to provide in a single volume and economic, social, and political history of Mexico since its independence from Spain in 1821. This, it is hoped, will be useful for both teachers and students of Latin American history and of contemporary Latin America. Each chapter is accompanied by a bibliographical essay.

Recenzje

"Well-documented, using primary and secondary materials that reflect familiarity with Mexican, European and U.S. sources, the six authors review the most salient features of the political and economic development of Mexico, 1821-1988....[It] reflects the obvious advantages of tightly crafted chapters written by acknowledged specialists of each era of Mexican history and assurances that they conizant of the traditional interpretations and themes as well as the trendy ones....[A] useful work for anyone who wishes to go beyond a superficial understanding of Mexico during the last 170 years or so." George D. Beelen, Journal of Third World Studies
