New book on Revolution and State in Modern Mexico

Adam Morton’s latest book, Revolution and State in Modern Mexico: The Political Economy of Uneven Development (Rowman & Littlefield, 2011) develops a new approach to understanding the formation of the post-revolutionary state in Mexico. He links the rise and demise of the modern Mexican state to ongoing forms of class struggle that have shaped and restructured state and civil society, thus shedding  light on debates on state formation by recovering radical tools of analysis, such as uneven development and class struggle, for the wider study of past and present politics in Mexico and Latin America more broadly.
