The Making of the Mexican Border
The issues that dominate U.S.-Mexico border relations today—integration of economies, policing of boundaries, and the flow of workers from south to north and of capital from north to south—are not recent developments. In this insightful history of the state of Nuevo León, Juan Mora-Torres explores how these processes transformed northern Mexico into a region with distinct economic, political, social, and cultural features that set it apart from the interior of Mexico. Mora-Torres argues that the years between the establishment of the U.S.-Mexico boundary in 1848 and the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution in 1910 constitute a critical period in Mexican history. The processes of state-bui...
The Mexican Frontier, 1821-1846
Reinterprets borderlands history from the Mexican perspective.
Forge of Progress, Crucible of Revolt
The Laguna region of north-central Mexico was the showcase for President Porfirio Diaz's (1876-1911) program of economic development and foreign investment. This book examines the social and economic consequences of the area's rapid modernization to explain the origins of prerevolutionary activity. Following the arrival of the railroad in the early 1880's, the Laguna quickly became the nation's leading cotton-producing area, as well as a regional center for manufacturing, mining and smelting, and rubber refining. By 1910 it boasted the fastest growing city in Mexico, and the largest foreign population outside of Mexico City. The region's economic transformation yielded uneven benefits, which in turn precipitated deep social and political tensions. It is against this background that the Revolution began with Francisco Madero's challenge to Diaz's re-election.

The Spirit of Hidalgo
This book fills a significant gap in the scholarship on the Mexican Revolution by providing a detailed history of the northeastern state of Coahuila from the late Portifirian era to 1920. It evaluates the social, political, and economic developments that contributed to revolutionary activity within Coahuila, and that helped shape the revolutionary movements led by Francisco I. Madero and Venustiano Carranza. Pasztor explores the role played by the extensive Coahuila-Texas border in the financing of the Mexican Revolution and she addresses the revolution's immediate outcomes through a study of the reforms introduced during the governorships of Carranza and Gustavo Espinosa Mireles.

Liberalismus, ethnische Vielfalt und Nation
Die vorliegende Studie untersucht den Begriff Indio als gesellschaftlichen Grundbegriff in Mexiko. Anhand eines begriffsgeschichtlichen Ansatzes werden Vorstellungen analysiert, die nach der Unabh�ngigkeit von 1821 ueber die indianische Bev�lkerung entwickelt wurden. Die Debatten liberaler und konservativer Fuehrungsschichten schlugen sich in der hauptst�dtischen Tagespresse nieder. Die mexikanischen Liberalen konnten sich Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts als fuehrende politische Kraft durchsetzen. Im Zentrum der vorliegenden Untersuchung steht daher der Indio-Diskurs der liberalen Presse in Mexiko-Stadt. Die gesellschaftliche Stellung einzelner Bev�lkerungsteile musste nach dem Wegfall de...
