Nacho Lopez: Mexican Photographer (review)
this one. Most generally, these previously published essays are a decade or so old, and while they still provide clear and convincing arguments, they are not representative of the extensive recent work in the “New Economic History” now actively pursued in Mexico and the United States. The reader will find relatively little quantitative analysis and no econometric modeling here. Although this may make these excellent studies accessible to a wider audience of historians, it also means that ample opportunities remain for careful investigations on the themes and questions raised herein. This book, and the series of which it is a part, provide Mexicanists with an essential reference to central topics in the country’s economic history. Together the series constitutes an impressive encyclopedia that should be on the shelf of any serious scholar of eighteenthand nineteenth-century Mexico.
