Publisher´s description: This book is one in a three volume general history of Mexico, comprising (I) the PreConquest period to 1521, (II) the Colonial period from 1521 to 1821, and (III) the National period from 1821-present. These books give a comprehensive narrative and analysis of Mexican history, focusing especially on political, economic, and social organization. Balancing both a ´bottom-up´(popular) and a ´top-down´ (elite) perspective, they seek, where possible, to locate Mexico within broader, comparative patterns of historical change and conflict.
