Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Unprecedented in the historiography of postindependence Mexico for its combination of rich archival detail and chronological scope, this book focuses on the wealthy men and women of the state of Michoacn from the last decades of colonial rule to the 1910 Revolution. The breadth of its documentary base and the sweeping span of time it covers transcend narrow social history to enlarge our understanding of the economic, political, and intellectual history of nineteenthcentury Mexico.Though not primarily a study of development or politics, the book nonetheless suggests strikingly original answers to the central question about Mexicos first century as a nation: to what can we attribute the failures of the Mexican economy and the Mexican political system? Among her major findings, the author concludes that for Michoacn, at least, Mexicos nineteenthcentury depression was in fact two distinct economic collapsesone following the wars of the insurgency and the other coming after the Reform of the late 1850sseparated by a period of relative prosperity in the 1840s and early 1850s.The author further argues that the postReform downturn was experienced differently by elites and the middle classes from the post1810 depression, not least because wealthy landowners were able to hold on to most of their property and ultimately to forge a mutually beneficial relationship with the middleclass liberal politicians who dominated officeholding in the second half of the nineteenth century.The authors view of the Reform also departs from conventional wisdom, which has either emphasized its many deficiencies or treated it as only one of many episodes of political turmoil that disrupted the economy and exacerbated an ongoing pattern of decline. She finds that though the Reform undoubtedly contributed to the second nineteenthcentury depression in the short run, at the same time it eventually accomplished much of what the liberals had hoped for: it opened up the provincial (and presumably national) economy and created space for the upwardly xmobile middle class.This book, then, argues for a vision of Mexicos nineteenth century in which the Reform is the central, watershed event, not just in the lives of wealthy people in Michoacn or in the history of Mexican liberalism, but in Mexicos political and economic trajectory since independence.
