"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.

"Six essays approach the history of Mexican railroads from the perspective of the 'new economic history.' See especially Soto's essays on the relationship between industry and railroads in Monterrey, and Grunstein Dickter on the difference in approach between the científicos and the Carrancistas; however, all essays are important and well done. Recommended"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
