"Long overdue biography of the 'always bridesmaid' of the early republic. Author says much more about the political maneuvers of the period, concentrating on personalities of the Mexican elite. Somewhat useful"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

"Assesses the local impact of the Bourbon reforms on northwest Mexico and sheds light on the effectiveness - or lack thereof - of the reform plan"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
