Description: MODERN MEXICO ***** DISTRIBUTION COURSE GROUP 2 ***** Mexico is run today by politicians who see themselves as the heirs to the 1910-1917 revolution. Yet their authoritarian government rules Mexico in nearly the same way as did the dictatorships they ousted. This lecture and discussion course will examine the roots of the Mexican Revolution, the development of the coalitions of peasants, workers, and middle-class politicians that participated in the conflict; and the slow institutionalization that followed. Not offered 2003-2004.
