Catálogo de la colección Porfirio Díaz

"Excellent compilation of 18 essays devoted to the Porfiriato. Especially recommended are Marichal on the 1888 debt conversion, Buve on conflict in the countryside, and Leticia Reina on the autonomy of indigenous villages. Major contribution to a re-evaluation of a complex period"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

Ante la reciente presentación del VI informe del Señor Ernesto Zedillo Ponce de León, y los eventos ocurridos ante la Camara de Diputados, es imperativo cuestionarse sobre la bondad de los resultados presentados y confrontados ante la realidad social. Es relevante considerar que la presente administración perdio las "riendas" de la economía nacional ante la contratación de deuda en 1995 para solventar los llamados "errores de diciembre de 1994."

"Important contribution for understanding the crucial transitional regime of Manuel Avila Camacho (1940-46). Series of detailed essays explores Mexico's public policy during the period, particularly its international linkages to and role in hemispheric defense. Also examines development of important labor movements and the composition of corporatist interest groups. Includes an imaginative interpretation of cultural contributions by Carlos Monsiváis"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.

"Six essays approach the history of Mexican railroads from the perspective of the 'new economic history.' See especially Soto's essays on the relationship between industry and railroads in Monterrey, and Grunstein Dickter on the difference in approach between the científicos and the Carrancistas; however, all essays are important and well done. Recommended"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
