Historia de la vida cotidiana en México

Bajo las nubes de México es un libro de viajes, una crónica caleidoscópica, breve y exhaustiva que nos descubre imágenes y asociaciones inéditas en paisajes tan visitados como la mítica Veracruz y figuras tan populares como los mariachi así como temas sociales de actualidad, como la guerrilla zapatista y aventuras personales.

This comprehensive review of rural policy in Mexico shows that the challenges and potential of rural areas are spatially differentiated and therefore require a place-based policy approach.

"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.
