Wealth and Power in Provincial Mexico

Description:

"This book focuses on the wealthy men and women of the state of Michoacan to develop strikingly original answers to important questions about Mexico's first century as a nation. With its unprecedented combination of rich archival detail and chronological scope, the study transcends narrow social history to enlarge our understanding of the economic, political, and intellectual history of nineteenth-century Mexico."--BOOK JACKET.
