Mexico, 1848-1853

This collection of essays adds to existing scholarship on familiar historical topics, but also explores several little-known aspects of Mexican history. The volume offers a sustained look at many facets that made up the post-1848 era in Mexico, whose impact would be felt for years to come.

Historians have paid scant attention to the five years that span from the conclusion early in 1848 of Mexicos disastrous conflict with the United States to the final return to power in April 1853 of General Antonio López de Santa Anna. This volume presents a more thorough understanding of this pivotal time, and the issues and experiences that then affected Mexicans. It sheds light on how elite politics, church-state relations, institutional affairs, and peasant revolts played a crucial role in Mexicos long-term historical development, and also explores topics like marriage and everyday life, and the public trials and executions staged in the aftermath of the war with the U.S.
