Allied Policy Toward Axis Interests in Mexico During World War II
This article consists of several parts:it explores the broad level of participation in Mexican society of citizens and companies associated with the Axis powers; it then looks at the use that several key political and economic figures in Mexico and the United States made of the reality, and or the fear of Axis influence; finally the article explores the treatment of the Axis nationals after Mexico entered World War II. Este artículo consiste de v…
Colombia in the Crucible: Civil War, Citizenship and the Disintegration of the State
Colombia is in a prolonged spiral of political and economic crisis, at least as profound as the infamous violencia of the 1940s-50s. Arguably the current situation is even more desperate. Today the national territory is being fragmented as a multi-dimensional battle is waged for state power in which the government finds its ability to rule challenged by a number of organisations which have become a law unto themselves. A minimal (Weberian) defini…
Las raíces de exilio: México ante la guerra civil española, 1936-1939
Examining the reaction of the Mexican government and society to the Spanish Civil War, José Antonio Matesanz has produced a detailed description and analysis linking the Spanish Civil War with Mexican responses. He juxtaposes complex political agendas with evolving diplomatic and military events in order to explain the depth of support (and opposition) for the Republic from the government, unions, intellectuals, feminists, and the press in Mexico…
As if Jesus Walked on Earth: Cardenismo, Sonora, and the Mexican Revolution. Adrian A BANTJES: Wilmington: Scholarly Resources, 1998
Adrian A. Bantjes has written an important book. It is a study of the many sides of Cardenismo in Sonora in the 1930s. The great strength of the volume is that it examines the impact of Lázaro Cárdenas's reforms from anumber of perspectives: the president's political project, the relationship between the local political factions and the central government, the tradition of anti-clericalism and the defence of the Church
Setting the Rules: Toward a Research Agenda That Matters
In recent years, I have been working on the reversal of the radical elements of the Mexican Revolution in the 1940s. Concentrating on international issues of development, I wrote a book (see Niblo, 1995) under the title Setting the Rules. The publisher, perhaps correctly, persuaded me to change the title, arguing that it would not mean much to readers. Writing at the end of the cold war in a context of the defeat of the old left, my proposed titl…
War, Diplomacy, and Development: The United States and Mexico, 1938-1954
Despite wide-ranging reforms triggered by the epic Mexican Revolution of 1910-1923, the 1940s saw a powerful reassertion of Washington's influence over Mexico City. This book traces the course of this reversal and examines the critical role of World War II in changing US-Mexican relations

British Propaganda in Mexico During the Second World War: The Development of Cultural Imperialism
Cultural imperialism is a blatant fact in Latin America. Foreign influence in the mass communication media is ubiquitous. Newspapers frequently accept their news from the international wire services and radio and television not only play foreign programs but also introduce foreign products, tastes, and values; even advertising promotes urban life styles and foreign standards of beauty. Local ownership of the media is rarely a protection against t…
Recent Additions to Nineteenth-Century Mexican Historiography
The recent literature dealing with Mexico in the nineteenth century is massive. This motivated us to the task of reviewing the material published since the Third Reunion of Mexican and North American Historians at Oaxtapec in 1969. Initially over 450 titles were identified, dealing with all aspects of the period. Our original intention was to review the literature in Spanish, since that material is already becoming difficult to locate, but our at…
Progress and the Standard of Living in Contemporary Mexico
No topic is of greater relevance in the twentieth century than modernization. In spite of the remarkable growth of production in the industrialized world in the past decades, it would be difficult to name one country that has passed from the underdeveloped to developed category in the capitalist world. Mexico has, in the judgement of a number of economists and historians of development, been experiencing rapid rates of growth as measured by GNP, …
