Throughout the 1920s Mexico was rocked by attempted coups,
assassinations, and popular revolts. Yet by the mid-1930s, the
country boasted one of the most stable and durable political
systems in Latin America. In the first book on party formation
conducted at the regional level after the Mexican Revolution, Sarah
Osten examines processes of political and social change that
eventually gave rise to the Institutional Revolutionary Party
(PRI), which dominated Mexico's politics for the rest of the
twentieth century. In analyzing the history of socialist parties in
the southeastern states of Campeche, Chiapas, Tabasco, and Yucatan,
Osten demonstrates that these 'laboratories of revolution'
constituted a highly influential testing ground for new political
traditions and institutional structures. The Mexican Revolution's
Wake shows how the southeastern socialists provided a blueprint for
a new kind of party that struck calculated balances between the
objectives of elite and popular forces, and between centralized
authority and local autonomy.
