La colonia

Siete escritores contemporaneos espanoles ofrecen aqui sus impresiones de Mexico durante sus estancias en diversas oportunidades. Seis de ellos son menores de 40 anos y solo uno nacio en 1928. Los testimonios ponen de manifiesto que el pais sigue cautivando a los extranjeros.

Take a trip to Mexico to explore its diverse geography, wildlife, history, and cuisine. A rich vocabulary exposes readers to Mexico, its wildlife, and most famous sites.

"Important study of the Maximato (1928-34) sees Cardenismo as the culmination of - rather than the replacement for - many important political developments under Calles. Concludes that there were 'important differences' but also 'essential overlaps' between Calles and Cárdenas. Cardenismo would not have been possible without the Maximato"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

"Revisionist view of the traditional interpretation of 1923 revolt as a reaction against Obregón's imposition of Calles. Authors study four different regional revolts between 1923-24, all with different leaders and provoked by different causes: Rómulo Figueroa in Guerrero, Enrique Estrada in Jalisco, Guadalupe Sánchez in Veracruz, and Fortunato Maycotte in Oaxaca. Rebels failed because of a lack of central control or unifying program. Adolfo de la Huerta played only a 'decorative role' in the armed movement against Obregón"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
