ISBN: 9780582292673.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fall of Porfirio Diaz has traditionally been presented as a watershed between old and new: an old style repressive and conservative government, and the more democratic and representative system that flowered in the wake of the Mexican Revolution. Now this view is being challenged by a new generation of historians, who point out that Diaz originally rose to power in alliance with anti-conservative forces and was a modernising force as well as a dictator. Drawing together the threads of this revisionist reading of the Porfiriato, Garner reassesses a political career that spanned more than forty years, and examines the claims that post-revolutionary Mexico was not the break with the past that the revolutionary inheritors claimed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44960909688885,"sku":"ByrdShop_0582292670","price":35.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780582292673_023ac425-2dea-4494-91ac-60d147d0d181.jpg?v=1781368500","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/porfirio-diaz-profiles-in-power-9780582292673","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
