{"product_id":"the-mexican-revolution-porfirians-liberals-and-peasants-9780803277700","title":"The Mexican Revolution: Porfirians, Liberals and Peasants","description":"The Mexican Revolution was like no other: it was fueled by no vanguard party, no coherent ideology, no international ambitions; and ultimately it served to reinforce rather than to subvert many of the features of the old regime it overthrew. Alan Knight argues that a populist uprising brought about the fall of longtime dictator Porfirio Díaz in 1910. It was one of those relatively rare episodes in history when the mass of the people profoundly influenced events. In this first of two volumes Knight shows how urban liberals joined in uneasy alliance with agrarian interests to install Francisco Madero as president and how his attempts to bring constitutional democracy to Mexico were doomed by counter-revolutionary forces. \u003ci\u003eThe Mexican Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates on all levels, local and national, the complex history of an era. Rejecting fashionable Marxist and revisionist interpretations, it comes as close as any work can to being definitive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Knight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 6.00w x 1.57d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803277700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlan Knight is Professor of Latin American History, Oxford University, and Director of the Latin American Centre, St. Antony's College, Oxford.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40139364597875,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":43.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_dd35ff79-0e0a-45f5-8c0f-c8af0b94df23.jpg?v=1654434680","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-mexican-revolution-porfirians-liberals-and-peasants-9780803277700","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
