Veinticinco años de investigación histórica en México. Edición especial de Historia Mexicana

The Colegio de México, one of the leading centers of advanced humanistic studies in Latin America, has chosen to celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary by publishing a general bibliography of Mexican historical writings during the last quarter century. The result will astonish those few misguided persons who still feel that only Yankees can write adequate monographs and articles on Latin American history. The book is also a prerequisite for the library of any Mexicanist. It consists of twenty distinct bibliographies—most of them arranged by topics (history of ideas, of the plastic arts, of science, religion, politics, etc.) and a few devoted to periods of special interest in Mexican development (the Independence and the French Intervention) or to related areas such as Spain and the Philippines. Each section is preceded by a brief historiographical essay, and most entries are briefly annotated.
