1. Mexico's Once And Future Revolution
This book traces Mexico’s political and social transformations since the 1960s, arguing that revolutionary ideals and practices continue to shape popular movements and state responses; it analyzes key moments—student mobilization and repression in 1968, economic restructuring and neoliberal reforms in the 1980s and 1990s, the Zapatista uprising and the push for democratization—and shows how enduring patterns of inequality, clientelism, repression, and grassroots mobilization have produced recurring cycles of contention and limited reform, forcing a rethinking of what revolution means for contemporary Mexican governance and social change.
