Reviews for The Poverty of Revolution. The State and the Urban Poor in Mexico.
"Any doubts left about how the PRI and the government co-opt and disarm popular discontent will be dispelled by this material... a work of mature scholarship and a valuable contribution to the growing literature on Third World urbanization and development."
