This fourth edition of Roderic Camp's highly respected Mexican
Political Biographies is an updated comprehensive biographical
directory of leading state and national politicians in Mexico,
covering the years 1935-2009. The original edition, published in
1976, was the first and only comprehensive biographical work on
contemporary political figures in any language and served as the
prototype for the Mexican government's brief foray into its own
official biographical directory. The Mexican Supreme Court has
cited every biography of justices in the third edition as the basis
of its biographies in the late 1980s.
With updates of the existing biographies and appendices, plus
almost 1,000 additional biographies, this fourth edition now
features close to 3,000 entries and serves as a unique resource
list of the chronological occupants of all leading national
political posts. The need for such information has become even more
pronounced since Mexico's political transformation from a
semi-authoritarian to a democratic model.
This latest edition allows readers access to information about
Mexican politicians into the new century, and like its earlier
versions, will be a valuable tool for government officials,
journalists, historians, social scientists, the business community,
and students.
Finally, it includes a detailed bibliographic essay that
identifies and explains the significance of biographical sources
and has been enhanced by numerous up-to-date Internet sources. An
added convenience is an accompanying CD that allows readers to
search the biographies and appendices, enhancing the longevity,
usefulness, and uniqueness of this edition.
