Relying on Mexican archival material never before analyzed, the author presents a unique perspective on the period following the Mexican Revolution and Mexico's efforts to diminish its economic dependency on the United States. This work not only describes the political and economic struggle between the Mexican government and the U.S. oil companies but also serves to illustrate in general the nature of dependency between Latin American countries and the United States. It will be of interest not only to Mexican specialists but also to diplomatic and economic historians. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lorenzo Meyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1477300996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477300992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.87d","brand":"Lorenzo Meyer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935564529919,"sku":"9781477300992","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_cf3c8fcb-3e23-43f9-8819-3ab607d16efa.jpg?v=1681420536","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mexico-and-the-united-states-lorenzo-meyer-9781477300992","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
