"Thorough study of the cathedral cabildo--the ruling body of the Episcopal church--in the important diocesis of Michoacán. Covers the entire colonial period. The cabildo is analyzed as a collegiate body aware of its historical identity, its responsibilities and duties, and its relationship with the bishop. Traces important nuances in the evolution of this body. Sustained by strong archival research, this is a commendable history of a key part of the secular church"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

"Garrido, author of an outstanding historical study of the founding and early years of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional, offers the first book-length analysis of the most important internal development within the party's structure: the Corriente Democrática. Analyzes party divisions which produced the Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas presidential candidacy in 1988"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.

Congressional decree of 29 May 1811 extending military honors to the Consejo de Regencia and thanking the military of New Spain for its loyalty to the crown.

"Revisionist view of the traditional interpretation of 1923 revolt as a reaction against Obregón's imposition of Calles.

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.
