In the Shadow of the Mexican Revolution - Contemporary Mexican History, 1910–1989

Hector Aguilar Camin and Lorenzo Meyer, two of Mexico's leading intellectuals, set out to fill a void in the literature on Mexican history: the lack of a single text to cover the history of contemporary Mexico during the twentieth century. A la sombra de la Revolucion Mexicana, now available in English as In the Shadow of the Mexican Revolution, covers the Mexican Revolution itself, the gradual consolidation of institutions, the Cardenas regime, the Mexican economic miracle and its subsequent collapse, and the recent transition toward a new historical period.
