Reviews

“The Time of Liberty is a welcome and much needed addition to the literatures on popular political culture, indigenous politics, independence, and the first half-century of Mexico’s independent political life. It will be influential in debates on nineteenth-century Mexican history and more broadly."—Florencia E. Mallon, author of Peasant and Nation: The Making of Postcolonial Mexico and Peru

“The Time of Liberty takes on the most important issues around Mexican independence and draws fundamentally important and transforming conclusions. It is the finest analysis yet written of politics and political culture before, during, and after Mexican independence.”—John Tutino, author of From Insurrection to Revolution in Mexico: Social Bases of Agrarian Violence, 1750–1940

“[A] pathbreaking study. . . . Guardino casts new light upon regional political life in Oaxaca in both the city and in the rural villages of Villa Alta. . . . [T]his fascinating study opens new windows to explain a regional political picture that until now has been quite murky.”

-- Christon I. Archer Hispanic American Historical Review

“[T]his is an extremely important study of regional and national politics in Mexico. . . . By taking a broad view of politics, culture, and society during the formative period of nation-building in Mexico, Guardino offers a new perspective on peasant politics and on connections linking the village, region, and state.”

-- Scott Eastman Ethnohistory
