Las semblanzas aqui presentadas tienen el encanto de la brevedad y lo anecdotico, para contar sobre el genio epigramatico y mordaz del ilustre Francisco de Tres Guerras, el arquitecto mexicano por excelencia del neoclasico; de los arrebatos juveniles de Ignacio Ramirez El Nigromante, o de las indiscretas ironias del Gallo Pitagorico, entre una veintena de personajes de la historia de Mexico.

"Collection of essays on the history of Mexico City by well-known historians includes such topics as urban design, the city council, the Church, and educational institutions. For general, rather than specialized, readership"--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.
