Comics and Memory in Latin America
A conference at the University of London in 2012 provided the occasion for the presentations that became this book, and its contents retain the character of proceedings. Judged from this perspective, the collection is rather well done. The editors and authors have several strengths, especially the commitment to using comics as expressions of collective and social memory. Others include the attention to lesser-known comics such as those from Peru …
The War Has Brought Peace to Mexico
Halbert Jones in this volume offers a sophisticated analysis of all the major archives for domestic and international affairs, as well as published materials, on Mexico's participation in World War II. His explication of events is tightly held together in a dense and readable narrative that makes a solid contribution to the historiography of the war era, the political system, and the little-known and less understood president Manuel Ávila Camacho…

Cuauhtémoc's Bones
Taking as his subject the 1949 discovery of a burial beneath the church altar in a remote village in highland Guerrero, Mexico, reputed to contain the bones of the last Aztec emperor Cuauhtémoc, Paul Gillingham has written an outstanding historical monograph (and whodunit) that unravels the mystery, follows the clues, evaluates the false documents, explains the national fascination with the bones, dismisses the red herring, identifies the perpetr…

A Culture of Everyday Credit
This outstanding study goes well beyond the excellent dissertation on which it is based. Marie Francois has brought new information and understanding of how everyday life functioned in Mexico from 1750 to 1920. She demonstrates how individuals from the middle through the lowest orders lived their daily lives in the capital city and how they valued their possessions, no matter how meager, and utilized them in strategies to meet everyday needs, cel…
Human Tradition in Modern China

Through the lives of these diverse people, readers will gain an understa…
Reflections on the Historiography of Twentieth‐Century Mexico
This article examines the recent trend to create a new periodization that concludes that the revolution ended in 1920 and therefore the decades of the 1920s and 1930s should be identified as the post revolution. The article argues that using the label post‐revolutionary ignores major revolutionary social programs during the 1920s and 1930s and disregards the revolutionary achievements of Presidents Alvaro Obregón, Plutarco Calles, and Lázaro Cárd…
Porfirio Díaz
Paul Garner has written an outstanding political assessment of the regime of Porfirio Díaz, who ruled Mexico from 1876 to 1911 (except for the Manuel González interval, 1880 – 84). This is the first English-language political biography since the 1932 journalistic narrative by Carleton Beals. To appreciate Garner’s accomplishment, readers should know the constraints imposed by the publisher: the book is one of a series entitled “Profiles of Power,…

Governor Carranza and the Revolution in Coahuila
It’s easier to make a revolution, than it is to make a revolution work,” Fidel Castro once told a packed audience listening to him discuss the progress of Cuba. His remark, made with characteristic candor, expressed the challenge that confronts all rebels who manage to achieve power. For the Anti-reelectionists in Mexico, the revolution had been made in the victory over federal troops at Ciudad Juárez in May, 1911. It then fell to Francisco Mader…

The Human Tradition in Latin America
Twentieth-Century Mexico
The Mexican revolution began in 1910 with high hopes and a multitude of spokesmen clamoring for a better life for ordinary Mexicans. This anthology examines how the revolution brought change and often progress. Women, the landless, the poor, the country folk are among those receiving consideration in the twenty-seven readings, which range from political and economic to social and intellectual history. About half of the selections are previously u…
Research Possibilities in the Mexican Revolution
In the era of the Mexican Revolution, research opportunities on the sub-national level are numerous and varied, although not completely untested. In recent monographs and dissertations, historians have examined the revolution in a few states, leading regional figures, the workings of national reform commissions in selected localities and hinted at the conflict of provincial interests that provoked violence in the name of opposition to national pr…
Caudillismo
The history of Man is marked by recurrent autocratic rule. In fact, autocracy in its various guises is perhaps the most prevalent form of political authority in history. Latin America has suffered autocratic rule as has the rest of the world; but while the genus is autocrat, the species, caudillo, is almost unique to nineteenth-century Latin America (more specifically, Spanish America). To understand the distinctive qualities of the caudillo, as …
State Reform during the Provisional Presidency
rTI HE ANTI-REEELECTIONIST movement of Francisco I. Madero won political power in 1911 by defeating the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz in the first of a series of rebellions and civil wars collectively known as the Mexican Revolution. Beyond seizing national authority, Madero's achievements were limited. After his victory he turned over political authority to a caretaker government until national presidential elections could be held which would gi…

Judas at the Jockey Club and Other Episodes of Porfirian Mexico
It is gratifying that William Beezley’s near-classic Judas at the Jockey Club has been reissued, having first appeared in 1987. The book, a pleasure to read, still has much to offer, especially to the generalist and classroom teacher of Mexican or Latin American history. It introduces and adeptly illustrates the important role of modernization as a motor of both socioeconomic and especially cultural resistance and change in a readily accessible m…
