A study of federalism in late-nineteenth-century Veracruz State and a politico-military analysis and an evaluation of social-revolutionary relations in the epoch of the Porfiriato and the Mexican Revolution.
This is the first modern, comprehensive and analytical history of the state of Veracruz during the Mexican revolution. It offers a politico-military analysis and an evaluation of social-revolutionary relations in the epoch of the Porfiriato and the Mexican Revolution. The book draws on rare archives from Mexico.
Karl B Koth
Koth's study is the first political and military history to trace the centralist-federalist struggle from the mid-nineteenth century through the Mexican Revolution in Veracruz . . . It should be placed alongside other well-known regional histories of the revolutionary era concerned with the centralist-federalist paradigm, the struggle for local autonomy, and peasant/worker rebellions fighting for social justice. --Heather Fowler-Salamini, Hispanic American Historical Review
