This collection brings together a group of important and
influential essays on Mexican history and historiography by Eric
Van Young, a leading scholar in the field. The essays, several of
which appear here in English for the first time, are primarily
historiographical; that is, they address the ways in which separate
historical literatures have developed over time. They cover a wide
range of topics: the historiography of the colonial and
nineteenth-century Mexican and Latin American countryside;
historical writing in English on the history of colonial Mexico;
British, American, and Mexican historical writing on the Mexican
Independence movement; the methodology of regional and cultural
history; and the relationship of cultural to economic history. Some
of the essays have been and will continue to be controversial,
while othersOCofor example, those on studies of the Mexican
hacienda since 1980, on the theory and method of regional history,
and on the new cultural history of MexicoOCoare widely considered
classics of the genre."
