Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket With Some Tears. 029278418x. 322 pages. hardcover. keywords: Mexico Latin America History. FROM THE PUBLISHER-American historians of today, preoccupied with the stirring events of the Mexican Revolution and the years following, tend to neglect the basic causes of the conflict. John Kenneth Turner-a crusading California newspaperman-presents these causes with brilliance and passion in Barbarous Mexico, his exposE of the Diaz regime. Published serially beginning in the fall of 1909, his articles received scores of favorable reviews. The Rochester Times wrote: ‘The abolitionists in our own ante helium days did not formulate an indictment as repulsive as that brought against Mexico by this impassioned writer. ' A British periodical called Turner ‘an American humanitarian who deserves the thanks of civilisation. ' Mexican President Francisco I. Madero himself said that Barbarous Mexico contributed greatly to the success of the Revolution. Despite its fame early in the twentieth century, Barbarous Mexico has been out of print for close to sixty years. The present edition, with an introductory biographical essay on Turner by Professor Snow and photographs of the principal characters involved, not only re-emphasizes the causes of the Mexican Revolution, but provides both layman and scholar with a vivid and exciting account of life in Mexico under the tyrant Porfirio Diaz.
