Book excerpt: "In this work, which is more historiography than monographic history, the author discusses various conventional theories and interpretations concerning the evolution of Mexican federalism and its role in 'forging Mexico.' Although the author accepts the lasting impact of federalism throughout Mexican history, he does not link it to popular nationalism and resistance as do Thomson and Mallon among others"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
