The Oppression of Mexico

Pasquale De Marco

Summary

Porfirio Diaz was a complex and controversial figure who ruled Mexico for over thirty years. He was a dictator who ruthlessly suppressed his opponents, but he was also a modernizer who brought economic and social progress to the country. His presidency, known as the Porfiriato, was a time of great change and upheaval in Mexico.

This book provides a comprehensive and balanced account of the Porfiriato. It examines Diaz's rise to power, his policies and reforms, and his eventual downfall. The book also explores the impact of the Porfiriato on Mexico's political, economic, and social development.

The book is based on extensive research, including archival sources, government documents, and contemporary accounts. It is written in a clear and engaging style, and it is accessible to both scholars and general readers.

The book is divided into ten chapters. The first chapter provides an overview of Mexico in the 19th century. The following chapters examine the Porfiriato in detail, covering topics such as economic development, political stability, social reforms, and cultural achievements. The final chapters discuss the Mexican Revolution, the post-revolutionary era, and Mexico's development in the 20th and 21st centuries.

**The Oppression of Mexico** is an essential resource for anyone who wants to understand Mexican history. It is a valuable addition to the literature on the Porfiriato and its legacy.
