1 See details in Brenes Citation2002 and ProDUS Citation2004.
1. The collection edited by Joseph and Nugent Citation1994 is a prominent and influential example. Several contributors to the volume have also published important monographs. Studies of rural areas have predominated, although for a discussion of urban Mexico in a similar vein (and one heavily influenced by Scott), see Newcomer Citation2004.
2. Dotación clearly won out, accounting for 94% of land grants nationally between 1916 and 1940 (p.247).
3. See Craib's comments in the short Epilogue (p.256). How the ejido was transformed from spatial fix to a ‘fugitive’ institution is left unexplored. Indeed, while the books' periodisation is innovative in bridging the Reforma, the Porfiriato and the Revolution, it is less so in leaving 1940-1980 as a veritable black hole for sophisticated agrarian history; the basic interpretation of a post-1940 rural Pax Priísta remains in place.
4. Haber Citation2004 is only the latest of numerous statements along these lines. Indeed, Haber seems to reach his conclusions through the aggregation of the work and conclusions of a good many (of what Haber terms) ‘traditional’ historians, alongside the new rigorous, quantitative calculations. For a ‘traditional’ historian's statement on the centrality of selective, discretionary enforcement and caciquismo in Mexican political culture see Knight Citation1996.
5. One such example being Rubin Citation1997.
6. Bellingeri [Citation2003: 112]. Craib (p.89) briefly comments on the opacity required by local Veracruz caciques in the nineteenth century, but does not return to the problem.
