Cultura mexicana moderna en el siglo XVIII

"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.

"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.

"Detailed documentation of the implementation of the Plan Nacional de Desarrollo for the years 1989-94. Contains sections on the goals of the plan, the methods of implementation, and an assessment of accomplishments. Also includes the extensive legislation surrounding the plan"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
