Reviews

"Engaging political history."--Pacific Historical Review

"A Persistent Revolution offers an insightful analysis of the historical development of Mexico's revolutionary national mythology and the riddle of the 'perfect dictatorship.' This work provides food for thought about the decline and recomposition of Mexico's distinctive brand of authoritarianism."--Richard Stahler-Sholk, Latin American Perspectives
