Edward Beatty. Technology and the Search for Progress in Modern Mexico
Edward Beatty’s book analyzes the transfer of technology in Mexico from 1870 to 1920, a period that spanned the apogee of liberal modernization and the military phase of the Mexican Revolution. Beatty concludes that while Mexicans quickly adopted the technological innovations of the Second Industrial Revolution, they did not assimilate these innovations to a sufficient degree. As a result, the adoption of foreign technologies failed to spawn the …
Las corrientes revolucionarias y la Soberana Convención
Convoked in October 1914, the Soberana Convención Revolucionaria de Aguascalientes is a mere footnote in history. While the European great powers launched their armies into what would become World War I, Mexican military leaders tried to pick up the pieces from a devastating civil war: the rebellion against the dictatorship of General Victoriano Huerta, which had brought about the victory of a diverse array of revolutionary factions. This victory…

Notes From The Editors
Squaring the Circle: Recent Textbooks on Modern Latin American History
Anyone who has taught the second half of the Latin American history survey has faced the daunting task of reconciling the three organizing principles of the course: time, place, and theme. Most course syllabi privilege one of these principles over the others, and at best, instructors manage to incorporate two of them. In courses focused on chronology, students get a good grasp of the broad sweep of Latin American history over time and some salien…

Cuba mexicana: Historia de una anexión imposible
Recent scholarship has questioned the widespread notion that nineteenth-century Mexico pursued a foreign policy of survival—a policy designed to survive a brutal half-century of civil war, foreign intervention, and territorial annexation (1810–67), followed by liberal modernization unilaterally oriented toward the United States and western Europe. Instead, scholars have reexamined Mexican archival sources in the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriore…
Latin America in the Middle Period, 1750-1929. STUART F. Voss: Wilmington, DE: Scholarly Resources, 2002
Stuart Voss set himself an ambitioustask in this book: to reconceptualize, in the vein of recentscholarship, the common binary periodization of Latin Americanhistory. Most textbooks and curricula divide the historicalexperience of Latin America at the Wars of Independence in the earlynineteenth century. Along with Mark Szuchman and many others, Vossproposes instead a three-part periodization with a middle period thatmarks the transition from colo…

The French in Central America: Culture and Commerce, 1820-1930
The French in Central America provides a multiarchival and multilingual analysis of the role of a Great Power in a “peripheral” area affected more than most other regions of Latin America by foreign intervention and imperial conflict. Like the author’s previous work on German and U.S. influence in the isthmus, this book masterfully dissects the interplay between commercial and political interests and the rivalry among France, Germany, Great Brita…

México y las cruzadas anticomunistas estadunidenses, 1924-1964

USA und Mittelamerika: Die Außenpolitik von William J. Bryan, 1913-1915
This study analyzes U.S. Secretary of State William J. Bryan’s Latin America policy from 1913 to 1915, a period in which the Woodrow Wilson administration confronted the Mexican Revolution, as well as civil wars in Haiti, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic. Influenced by Arthur S. Link, Dietl portrays Bryan as the key architect of the initial “idealist phase” of Wilsonian diplomacy. In contrast to the “Dollar Diplomacy” that preceded this peri…

Counter-Intervention Against Uncle Sam: Mexico's Support for Nicaraguan Nationalism, 1903-1910

México como potencia mediana: Una Perspectiva Histórica
Se analiza el papel de Mexico como potencia mediana en el Caribe y Centroamerica, mismo que ha consistido en rechazar la intervención de Estados Unidos en la zona y en dar muestras de su riqueza relativa, en comparación con sus vecinos mas pequeños. Enfrentar la influencia estadunidense ha sido tan solo una de las preocupaciones del gobiemo mexicano; tanto o mas importantes han sido los asuntos bilaterales y la politica domestica para definir su …
In the Shadow of the Giant: The Making of Mexico's Central American Policy, 1876-1930
The complex nature of Mexican diplomacy calls for a analysis of the process of foreign policy formulation. This book analyses Mexico's initiatives in Central America during the Porfirian and Revolutionary periods and pays particular attention to Mexico's persistent challenge to US influence in Central America. As both instrument and object of political discourse, foreign policy helps a country's governing elite negotiate its share of power. On th…
