Dwyer, Duquesne University,for The Latin Americanist, 2009) "This compact textbook for undergraduate students of LatinAmerican, world, and diplomatic history tackles Mexico's shiftingpolitical and economic landscape from European settlement to thepresent swiftly and deftly. ...easily digested by newcomers toMexican history...animated by Buchenau's vivid prose and ability tomove seamlessly between local, regional, national and internationalcontexts...a highly effective introductory text."
