Hacia el Nuevo Estado: Mexico, 1920-1994

Este volumen emprende una revisión de todo el proceso electoral mexicano a lo largo del siglo XX, contemplando las tres grandes etapas por las que pasó el país en esta materia. la primera corresponde a los años que corren entre 1910 y 1929, los años armados de la Revolución mexicana y de la dispersión de poder político. la siguiente empieza en 1929, un año lleno de acontecimientos que marcarían el futuro inmediato de México; la Gran Depresión obligó al gobierno mexicano a reforzar su mando político para contender con los efectos económicos y sociales de la crisis a la par que...

As a young man, Ramon Perez aka Tianguis interrupted his studies and elisted in a burgeoning guerrilla movement to reclaim his people to ancestral communal lands in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico.

In the 1860s, Napoleon III, intent on curbing the rise of American imperialism, persuaded a young Austrian archduke and a Belgian princess to leave Europe and become the emperor and empress of Mexico. They and their entourage arrived in a Mexico ruled by terror, where revolutionary fervor was barely suppressed by French troops.
