Chapter 3: Mexico<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Mexico is fortunate in having a detailed, well-balanced, and up-to-date one-volume history in Michael C. Meyer and William L. Sherman, The Course of Mexican History<\/em>, 7th ed. (New York: Oxford University Press, 2003); it includes chapter-by-chapter bibliographies in both English and Spanish. For a powerful statement of a Mexican viewpoint, see Enrique Krauze, trans. Hank Heifetz, Mexico: Biography of Power: A History of Modern Mexico, 1810\u20131996<\/em> (New York: HarperCollins, 1997). An insightful history of Mexico\u2019s national identity is given in Enrique Florescano, trans. Albert G. Bork, Memory, Myth and Time in Mexico: From the Aztecs to Independence<\/em> (Austin: University of Texas Press, 1997). In Blood, Ink, and Culture: Miseries and Splendors of the Post-Mexican Condition <\/em>(Durham, N.C.: Duke University Press, 2002), Roger Bartra offers a brilliant commentary on the contemporary scene.<\/p>\n

The Mexican Revolution has come to dominate the nation\u2019s twentieth-century historiography. A rich and highly readable synthesis is found in Alan Knight, The Mexican Revolution<\/em> (Cambridge, U.K.: Cambridge University Press, 1986). The finest study of the agrarian revolution is John Womack, Jr., Zapata and the Mexican Revolution<\/em> (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1968), while Friedrich Katz has published a monumental biography about The Life and Times of Pancho Villa<\/em> (Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press, 1998). Outstanding studies of the social effects of the Revolution are Mary Kay Vaughan, Cultural Politics in Revolution: Teachers, Peasants, and Schools in Mexico, 1930\u20131940 (<\/em>Tucson: University of\u00a0Arizona Press, 1997), Jocelyn Olcott, Revolutionary Women in Postrevolutionary Mexico<\/em> (Durham, N.C.: Duke University Press, 2005), and\u00a0Ben Fallaw,\u00a0Religion and State Formation in Postrevolutioanry Mexico\u00a0<\/em>(Durham: Duke University Press, 2013)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The legacies of the Cold War have been analyzed in , Celeste Gonzalez de Bustamente,\u00a0“Muy buenas noches”: Mexico, Television, and the Cold War<\/i> (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2012),\u00a0\u00a0and Fernando Herrera Calder\u00f3n and Adela Cedillo, eds. Challenging Authoritarianism in Mexico: Revolutionary Struggles and the Dirty Wars<\/em>, 1964-82 (New York: Routledge, 2012),<\/p>\n

An excellent overview of Mexico\u2019s neoliberal economic adjustment appears in Nora Lustig, Mexico: The Remaking of an Economy<\/em> (Washington, D.C.: Brookings Institution, 1992). For the most recent period, see Susan Kaufman Purcell and Luis Rubio, eds., Mexico Under Zedillo<\/em> (Boulder, Colo.: Lynne Rienner, 1998), and Richard Snyder, Politics After Neoliberalism: Reregulation in Mexico<\/em> (Cambridge, U.K.: Cambridge University Press, 2001). The predominant role of the technocrats is analyzed in Miguel \u00c1ngel Centeno, Democracy Within Reason: Technocratic Revolution in Mexico<\/em> (University Park: Pennsylvania State University Press, 1994); for historical perspective see Peter H. Smith, Labyrinths of Power: Political Recruitment in Twentieth-Century Mexico<\/em> (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1979). The emerging political roles of women are captured in Victoria Rodr\u00edguez, ed., Women in Contemporary Mexican Politics<\/em> (Austin: University of Texas Press, 2003).<\/p>\n

Mexico\u2019s relationship with the United States is traced in Rafael Dom\u00ednguez and Jorge I. Fern\u00e1ndez de Castro, The United States and Mexico: Between Partnership and Conflict<\/em> (New York: Routledge, 2001) and\u00a0Peter H. Smith and Andrew Selee, eds.,\u00a0Mexico and the United States: The Politics of Partnership\u00a0<\/i>(Boulder CO: Lynne Rienner, 2013). For an intriguing cultural analysis see Jose E. Lim\u00f3n, American Encounters: Greater Mexico, the United States, and the Erotics of Culture<\/em> (Boston: Beacon Press, 1998). NAFTA and its consequences have received analytical treatment in Maxwell A. Cameron and Brian W. Tomlin, The Making of NAFTA: How the Deal Was Done<\/em> (Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University Press, 2002); Carol Wise, ed., The Post-NAFTA Political Economy: Mexico and the Western Hemisphere<\/em> (University Park: Pennsylvania State University Press, 1998); Edward J. Chambers and Peter H. Smith, eds., NAFTA in the New Millennium<\/em> (Edmonton and La Jolla: University of Alberta Press and Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies, University of California,\u00a0San Diego, 2002); and Kevin Gallagher, Free Trade and the Environment: Mexico, NAFTA, and Beyond<\/em> (Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press, 2004). Immigration and border issues are analyzed in Peter Andreas, Border Games: Policing the U.S.-Mexico Divide<\/em> (Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University Press, 2000) and in an intriguing work by former Mexican foreign minister Jorge G. Casta\u00f1eda, Ex Mex: From Migrants to Immigrants<\/em> (New York and London: The New Press, 2007).<\/p>\n

The history of migration of Mexicans to the United States has been carefully analyzed by Deborah Cohen in Braceros: Migrant Citizens and Transnational Subjects in the Postwar United States and Mexico<\/em>\u00a0(Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2011),\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0Omar S. Valerio-Jim\u00e9nez analyzes transnational identities of Mexican immigrants in\u00a0River of Hope: Forging Identity and Nation in the Rio Grande Borderlands\u00a0<\/em>(Durham: Duke University Press, 2013).

The Chiapas rebellion of 1994 has provoked a rethinking of the nature of Mexican society and politics. Details can be found in Neil Harvey, The Chiapas Rebellion: The Struggle for Land and Democracy<\/em> (Durham, N.C.: Duke University Press, 1999); John Womack, Jr., Rebellion in Chiapas: An Historical Reader<\/em> (New York: New Press, 1999); and Lynn Stephen, Zapata Lives!
