The fall of Porfirio Diaz has traditionally been presented as a
watershed between old and new: an old style repressive and
conservative government, and the more democratic and representative
system that flowered in the wake of the Mexican Revolution. Now
this view is being challenged by a new generation of historians,
who point out that Diaz originally rose to power in alliance with
anti-conservative forces and was a modernising force as well as a
dictator. Drawing together the threads of this revisionist reading
of the Porfiriato, Garner reassesses a political career that
spanned more than forty years, and examines the claims that
post-revolutionary Mexico was not the break with the past that the
revolutionary inheritors claimed.
