Andres Canche became the cacique, or indigenous leader, of Cenotillo, Yucatan, in January 1834.

The Porfirian regime sought to control and direct violence, to impose scientific hygiene and patriotic zeal, and to build an army to rival that of the European powers. The barracks community enacted these objectives in times of war or...

AN adequate explanation of the fact that Mexico's latest period of prosperity falls in the years of the commercial depression of certain other nations, involves the consideration of a number of contributing forces; but it is possible to describe one or two of these without thereby intimating that the others do not exist This is what is done when some of the more general results of the introduction of railways are pointed out. One of the most striking things in the economic history of Mexico is the completeness and persistence of her isolation. By destroying this isolation, she has suddenly...
