Revolution From Without: Yucatan, Mexico, and the United States, 1880-1924
Gilbert M. Joseph Manufacturer: Duke University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0822308223 |
Book Description
By focusing on Yucatan, this history of the Mexican Revolution not only advances the understanding of the Revolution in that region but also contributes to the understanding of the Revolution as a whole. If historians agree on anything in the highly charged field of Mexican revolutionary history, it is that the Revolution can no longer be viewed as a monolithic event. It was a series of regional phenomena, each governed by a set of local social, economic, political, geographical, and cultural factors. Thus far, historians have concentrated on the victorious caudilloled armies of the north, which was the birthplace of the Revolution, or on the popular social movements of central Mexico, most notably Zapatismo, the agrarian movements of Veracruz and Michoacan, and the more widespread Cristero rebellion. In bypassing southeastern Mexico, modern writers seem to have concurred with the assessment of some contemporary observers that, in the remote Yucatan peninsula, the Revolution followed a strange and exceptional course. Professor Joseph shows that in certain respects, Yucatan’s revolutionary experience was indeed unique. It was later to arrive, less violent, and probably more radical in its first decade than it was elsewhere in the republic. Although Yucatan was not important in the genesis and early development of the Revolution, it became a celebrated social laboratory, first for bourgeois reform under Constitutionalist general Salvador Alvarado, and later for ‘socialist’ experiment under civilian governor Felipe Carrillo Puerto. Professor Joseph argues that the Yucatecan case has important implications for understanding such central problems as export dependency and regional development, agrarian reform, mass mobilization and caciquismo (bossism), and the relationship between revolutionary ideology and practice.

ASIN: 0735202249 |
Book Description
The missing link that business schools don't teachWithout the benefit of an Ivy League education, independent wealth, or powerful connections, Peter Kash achieved outstanding success by recognizing what most businesspeople today do not understand: that success is based on trust and human interaction. With more than 100 examples and anecdotes from his own experience and the experiences of highly successful individuals including Richard Branson and Arnold Schwartzenegger, Kash shows readers how to use this knowledge to recognize opportunities that others have missed and derive maximum value from them. This inspiring book also offers a list of the twenty keys to success, as well as a description and analysis of a business deal from the moment the opportunity presents itself to its successful closing.
Helping new graduates and business people at any stage of their careers identify and adopt the behaviors that lead to success, Make Your Own Luck teaches the overlooked lessons essential to business prosperity.

Second to none!.......2002-05-05
Peter Morgan Kash opens his heart and tells valuable stories that come from his experience, more than once, making and then losing a fortune. His candidness and warm persona draw the reader into the book; he speaks to you as a friend who is teaching you exactly what you need to do to be successful.
Kash eloquently illustrates how failure is an essential part of success. His stories are refreshing and intriguing.
A main theme is what Kash calls the "Web of Life." Through fascinating anecdotes, he tells us that one never knows how those whom one meets can appear in the future to help in unforeseen ways.
Had anyone told me before I read this book how inclined I would be to treat people differently after reading it, I would have said that they were mistaken. It's absolutely true though. My relationships with people actually changed for the better after reading Make Your Own Luck.
An investment in this book is well worth it. Even a reader with no business inclination or interest will benefit from reading Make Your Own Luck. All of the proceeds of this book go directly to charity. For the minimal time investment that is required to read this book, you will be rewarded in more ways than you can imagine. Buy it, you won't regret it!
