Recenzii

'Recommended. General and undergraduate libraries.' – Choice
'[A] very thorough, useful, and readable history of Mexico. The author presents a clear, well informed, and well argued interpretation of Mexican history which emphasizes the country’s economic and social foundations, its political evolution and which takes up at every turn the issues of class, race, gender, the environment, and foreign relations. While this book has 607 pages of text in rather small type, the chapter divisions and subheads make the book easy to read. Russell has been remarkably successful in synthesizing current scholarship on Mexico. Written as a text book with a companion website, this book is quite accessible to the general reader and an excellent reference.' – Mexico Labor News and Analysis
'Philip Russell's History of Mexico distils of some of the best scholarship on Mexico and many important primary sources into a general history that makes the bibliography alone worthy of a place on the shelves of both the serious scholar of modern Mexico and the interested novice. Luckily, the narrative of this voluminous work is also well organised and in Russell's characteristic crystal-clear prose." - Bulletin of Latin American Research
