Abstract
With this book, Eric Van Young provides an overview of one of the most complex and transcendental periods of Mexico’s history. Most historians of Mexico focus on either the colonial or the national period; Van Young’s analysis, however, presents both the dusk of New Spain and the dawn of the Mexican Republic. He describes profound transformations and, at the same time, unrelenting continuities. For instance, Mexicans produced a new and enduring political system, the republic; nonetheless, their political, social, cultural, and economic cultures remained stubbornly defined by colonial traditions.
