"Careful study of Mexican regionalization policy and its results between 1940-82. Concludes that long-term government policies have failed to promote successful decentralization or to counter tendencies toward unequal distribution of wealth"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.

Selection of the papers presented at the XXIII Encuentro Nacional de Investigadores del Pensamiento Novohispano in Zacatecas in 2010.

"Revisionist view of the traditional interpretation of 1923 revolt as a reaction against Obregón's imposition of Calles. Authors study four different regional revolts between 1923-24, all with different leaders and provoked by different causes: Rómulo Figueroa in Guerrero, Enrique Estrada in Jalisco, Guadalupe Sánchez in Veracruz, and Fortunato Maycotte in Oaxaca. Rebels failed because of a lack of central control or unifying program. Adolfo de la Huerta played only a 'decorative role' in the armed movement against Obregón"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

An excellent analysis of the nature and scope of Mexican social assistance programs, recent systemic changes, political implications and future considerations.
