Joseph, Jurgen Buchenau This volume offers a concise historical analysis of the Mexican Revolution, exploring its causes, dynamics, consequences, and legacies. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In this concise historical analysis of the Mexican Revolution, Gilbert M. Joseph and Jurgen Buchenau explore the revolutions causes, dynamics, consequences, and legacies. They do so from varied perspectives, including those of campesinos and workers; politicians, artists, intellectuals, and students; women and men; the well-heeled, the dispossessed, and the multitude in the middle. In the process, they engage major questions about the revolution. How did the revolutionary process and its aftermath modernize the nations economy and political system and transform the lives of ordinary Mexicans? Rather than conceiving the revolution as either the culminating popular struggle of Mexicos history or the triumph of a new (not so revolutionary) state over the people, Joseph and Buchenau examine the textured process through which state and society shaped each other. The result is a lively history of Mexicos "long twentieth century," from Porfirio Diazs modernizing dictatorship to the neoliberalism of the present day. Author Biography Gilbert M.

Although the authors, two of the most eminent scholars of revolutionary Mexico, are not shy in expressing their own opinions, this dossier allows readers from undergraduates to expert initiates to judge for themselves. Gilbert M. Joseph and Jurgen Buchenau have given us a crisply written, comparatively informed survey of Mexican political history embracing nearly 150 years of both change and continuity, from Porfirian modernization to the first successful challenge to ruling party hegemony in 2000. If one were to read a single sweeping treatment of modern Mexico, this book might well be at the top of the list." - Eric Van Young, University of California, San Diego Promotional This volume offers a concise historical analysis of the Mexican Revolution, exploring its causes, dynamics, consequences, and legacies.
