The Divine Charter: Constitutionalism and Liberalism in Nineteenth-Century Mexico
ISBN: 9780742537118 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although Mexico began its national life in the 1821 as one of the most liberal democracies in the world, it ended the century with an authoritarian regime. Examining this defining process, distinguished historians focus on the evolution of Mexican liberalism from the perspectives of politics, the military, the Church, and the economy. Based on extensive archival research, the chapters demonstrate that--despite widely held assumptions--liberalism was not an alien ideology unsuited to Mexico's traditional, conservative, and multiethnic society. On the contrary, liberalism in New Spain arose...

In late February and early March of 1836, a Mexican army led by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna lay siege to a mission known as the Alamo, held by a small band of rebels that included Davy Crockett, James Bowie, and William Travis.

Villa and Zapata: A History of the Mexican Revolution
ISBN: 9780786710881 / Angielski / Miękka / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Recounting the decade of bloody events that followed the eruption of the Mexican Revolution in 1910, Villa and Zapata explores the regional, international, cultural, racial, and economic strife that made the rebels Francisco (Pancho) Villa and Emiliano Zapata legends. Throughout this volume drama colludes with history, in a tale of two social outlaws who became legendary national heroes, yet--despite their triumph and only meeting, in 1914, in the Mexican capital--failed to make common cause and ultimately fell victim to intrigues more treacherous than their own. 16 pages of black-and-white...
