Böcker av Hector Aguilar Camin

An authoritative and comprehensive history of post-revolutionary Mexico by two of the country's leading intellectuals.Hector Aguilar Camin and Lorenzo Meyer set out to fill a void in the literature on Mexican history: the lack of a single text to cover the history of Mexico during the twentieth century. In the Shadow of the Mexican Revolution, covers the Mexican Revolution itself, the gradual consolidation of institutions, the Cardenas regime, the "e;Mexican economic miracle"e; and its subsequent collapse, and the recent transition toward a new historical period.The authors explore Mexico's turbulent recent history as it becomes increasingly intertwined with that of the United States. First published in Spanish as A la sombra de la Revolucion Mexicana, this English-language edition offers US readers an intelligent and accessible study of their neighbor to the south.
