"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.

"Collection of newspaper articles by and about Esquivel Obregón, who served as Huerta's treasury secretary. Emphasizes his economic thought"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

"Important contribution for understanding the crucial transitional regime of Manuel Avila Camacho (1940-46). Series of detailed essays explores Mexico's public policy during the period, particularly its international linkages to and role in hemispheric defense. Also examines development of important labor movements and the composition of corporatist interest groups. Includes an imaginative interpretation of cultural contributions by Carlos Monsiváis"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.

An excellent analysis of the nature and scope of Mexican social assistance programs, recent systemic changes, political implications and future considerations.
