HECTOR AGUILAR CAMIN AND LORENZO MEYER, two of Mexico's leading intellectuals, set out to fill a void in the literature on Mexican history: the lack of a single text to cover the history of contemporary Mexico during the twentieth century, from the conditions that set in motion the Mexican Revolution of 1910 to the most recent presidential elections in 1988. A la sombra de la Revolucion Mexicana, now available in English as In the Shadow of the Mexican Revolution, offers a sweeping account of Mexico's history since 1910: seventy~nine years of change and continuity, innovation and reiteration. It covers the Mexican Revolution itself, the gradual consolidation of institutions, the Cardenas regime, the "Mexican economic miracle" and its subsequent collapse, and the recent transition toward a new historical period. Both authors are vigorous and influential commentators on contemporary events in Mexico, and both have political influence ( although they deliver it in different ways: Aguilar Camin defends the current regime, while Meyer critiques it). Presenting contemporary Mexican history from a Mexican point of view, they offer a comprehensive and authoritative study of Mexico's turbulent recent history, a history that increasingly intertwines with that of the United States. Given the level of interest in Mexico ~ likely to increase still more as a result of the recent liberalization of trade policies ~ this volume will be useful in affording U.S. readers an intelligent, comprehensive, and accessible study of their neighbor to the south. With prose that is appealing for both its humor and sharpness, the book should interest an informed general readership, as well as being attractive for classroom adoption.

Organized for easy reference, all the recipes in Cooking Texas Style are clearly explained, simple to prepare, and simply delicious. Texas food is dazzling in its diversity. The Mexican, German, and other influences that have shaped the face of Texas have all contributed to the rich cultural legacy of our cuisine. The blending of these ethnic elements, the handing down of recipes to succeeding generations, and the improvements made in those recipes by the good cooks of each generation have resulted in a special blend of sensory delight, from the piquant sweetness of the Wild Mustang green grape to the fiery heaven of the jalapeno pepper. Cooking Texas Style offers a unique collection of traditional recipes which capture the historical flavor of the varied origins of Texas cuisine. A valuable addition to the kitchen bookshelf of anyone interested in cooking~and eating Texas style.

First published 1935, exactly a century after the Texas Rangers was established, and absorbed into a larger organization, ceased to be. As J. Frank Dobie says in this volume historian Walter Prescott Webb (1888-1963) gives "The beginning, middle, and end of the subject." Dobie, here, refers to the entrenched popular fiction's stereotyped portraits of these soldiers naught but ". a pair of swaggering boots, a big hat, and a six shooter moving across the prairies under a cloud of pistol smoke." 584 pgs, foreword from President Lyndon B. Johnson of May,1965, in 23 chapters, places the Texas Ranger as an American fighting force in the Texas frontier when Mexican, Native Indian & westward moving American cultures knew no peace.

Notes. Bibliography. Index. Religion. Ancient history. History of mexico. Aztec history. Mythology. Cosmology. ~ The ancient Aztecs dwelt at the center of a dazzling and complex cosmos. From this position they were acutely receptive to the demands of their gods, who had a peculiar bent toward demonism and darkness. The Fifth Sun represents a dramatic overview of the Aztec conception of the universe and the gods who populated it ~ Quetzalcoatl, the Plumed Serpent; Tezcatlipoca, the Smoking Mirror; Huitzilopochtli, the Southern Hummingbird. Burr Cartwright Brundage explores the myths behind these and others in the Aztec pantheon in a way that illuminates both the human and the divine in Aztec life. The cult of human sacrifice; cannibalism; the use of hallucinogens; the calendars; tlacbtli, the life~and~death ball game; the flower wars; and the evolution of the war god of the Mexica are among the topics covered in this vivid and highly readable introduction to Aztec religion.

Everyone who works on the Maghrib, whatever discipline, will buy this book." ~Lisa Anderson Professor and Chair, Political Science, Columbia University. A WEALTH OF HISTORICAL writing dealing with the Maghrib (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya) has been published during the roughly forty years since European colonial control ended in the region. This book provides a "state of the field" survey of this postcolonial Maghribi historiography. The book contains thirteen essays by leading Maghribi and North American scholars. The first section surveys the Maghrib as a whole; the second focuses on individual countries of the Maghrib; and the third explores theoretical issues and case studies. Cutting across chronological categories, the book encompasses historiographical writing dealing with all eras, from the ancient Maghrib to the conternporary period. Because this hook surveys many of the principal historical questions, types of sources, and methodollJgical problems that have shaped the parameters of the historiography of the Maghrib, its essays are a useful guide to both tbe beginner and the seasoned student of Maghribi history. It will also speak to a broader audience, as the historiography of the Maghrib inevitably touches upon connections between North Africa and its neighbors in Europe, West and Central Africa, and the Arab Middle East.
