Description: "Masterfully discusses concept of 'pact of domination' and provides basis for an analysis of contemporary history, organized by periods: 1910-40, 1940-70, and 1970-92. Argues that Mexico has avoided violent forms of social conflict resolution, not because of the strength of the State, but because the State's weaknesses have forced it to respond to pressures from below"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
