Cycles of Conflict, Centuries of Change : Crisis, Reform, and Revolution in Mexico PDF
Edited by Servin Elisa Servin, Reina Leticia Reina, Tutino John Tutino
Description
Leading Mexicanists-historians and social scientists from Mexico, the United States, and Europe-examine the three fin-de-siecle eras of crisis. They focus on the role of the country's communities in advocating change from the eighteenth century to the present. They compare Mexico's revolutions of 1810 and 1910 and consider whether there might be a twenty-first-century recurrence or whether a globalizing, urbanizing, and democratizing world has so changed Mexico that revolution is improbable. Reflecting on the political changes and social challenges of the late twentieth century, the contributors ask if a democratic transition is possible and, if so, whether it is sufficient to address twenty-first-century demands for participation and justice.
