...Charles A. Hale It is all too easy to discover defects in a pioneer work published over 30 years ago, and in one whose author rejects the suppositions and methodology of the craft as practiced by most historians of the western world. Substantively, the book did open up the study of ideas...

... across three substantive chapters, each dealing with a different moment in the historical evolution of criollo mentalities. Through these chapters she seeks to illustrate how criollo subjectivity, while undergoing shifts in emphasis, maintained the core dynamic of inclusion/exclusion of indigenous...

... funds actually in the treasury’s coffers, made available by this feat of creative accounting. This obviously accurate statement is only significant if something more is at stake here than a not very elegant accounting legerdemain. But what is indeed at stake? What is the substantive meaning...

... of 1911. Seeking to emphasize the movement’s substantive achievements, its author takes issue with Rodney Anderson and other scholars who claim that the PLM had only a limited and indirect role in the labor unrest of 1906-1907. Similarly, to rehabilitate the tarnished image of the PLM in the Baja...

...Stephen B. Brush Three introductory chapters, with thorough discussions of research methods and problems, are followed by the substantive core of the book: four chapters on the natural environment, settlement history, demographic history, and resource exploitation of the Basin of Mexico...

... his rather extensive description of the patterns of labor organization in a time-bound context (primarily the Prado administration) rather than in a broader and theoretical framework, the substantive material on labor has been largely outdated by events during the Belaúnde regime. As a chronicle...

...). Their approach is to present “the big picture” geographically and, to a lesser extent, historically, while concentrating on a limited set of substantive issues. The analytic framework, developed in Chapter One, analyzes political systems in terms of the demands made upon them by the social groups competing...

... economic theory to the historical context, thus giving economics a temporal and spatial dimension. In my opinion, neither view constitutes an adequate conception of economic history. The authors have two stated goals: one is methodological and the other is substantive. With regard to the first...

... beginning, Becker makes it clear that his main goal is to challenge “the ideas of the now-popular dependency school” (p. xxii). Defining dependent as “externally determined and implying a loss of control by the nation over its own future” (p. 10), Becker criticizes dependency theorists on both substantive...

..., are disappointing. In contrast, Whittington’s forensic study of some 76 skeletal remains uncovered by Guillemin casts considerable light on the aboriginal population of Iximché with respect to diet, disease, age and sex, cultural modification of biological features, and ritual human sacrifice. The substantive...

... of the chapters are interesting and useful contributions to Mesoamerican studies, but they tell the reader little about the processes of political communication implied by the title. I will summarize the 12 substantive chapters under four categories that do not follow the order of the chapters in the book...
