Description: This book shows the centrality of religion to the making of the 1910 Mexican revolution.
Brief description: Robert Curley is currently the chair of the Departamento de Estudios Socio Urbanos, an interdisciplinary research institute at the University of Guadalajara in Mexico. His interests include cultural history, secularization and religious practice, and the Mexican revolution.
Review Quotes: Curley effectively navigates the tension between church-state relations and local dynamics as a cause of the conflict. This monograph will serve anyone examining the revolutionary period in Mexico in general and church-state relations in particular.--Andres Hijar, H-LatAm
