Antología de la planeación en México, 1917-1985

"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.

México tiene siglos de luchar contra el absolutismo, el despotismo y la tiranía, y hasta contra la dictadura. Podrá el pueblo mexicano sobrevivir el gobierno del Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI).

"Excellent study of the Dominican Order in the 16th century. Avoids a chronological account giving the reader instead a methodical analysis of the institutional, social, and economic organization of the order. To the prototypes of the urban and the rural convents, Pita Moreda adds a balanced assessment of the missionary activities"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

"Revisionist view of the traditional interpretation of 1923 revolt as a reaction against Obregón's imposition of Calles. Authors study four different regional revolts between 1923-24, all with different leaders and provoked by different causes: Rómulo Figueroa in Guerrero, Enrique Estrada in Jalisco, Guadalupe Sánchez in Veracruz, and Fortunato Maycotte in Oaxaca. Rebels failed because of a lack of central control or unifying program. Adolfo de la Huerta played only a 'decorative role' in the armed movement against Obregón"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
