Books by Roderic Ai Camp

An authoritative reference work that makes biographies of prominent Mexican national politicians from the period 1884-1934 available in English.

Roderic Camp's examination of intellectuals in Mexico is the first study of a Latin American country to detail the structure of intellectual life, rather than merely considering intellectual ideas.

Provides a comprehensive examination of Mexico's power elite - their political power, societal influence, and the crucial yet often overlooked role mentoring plays in their rise to the top. This book traces the careers of approximately four hundred of the country's notable politicians, military officers, clergy, intellectuals, and capitalists.

With nearly 1,000 new biographies, updates of the existing biographies and appendices, and a fully searchable CD, this is the definitive source for biographical information on some 3,000 of Mexico's leading state and national politicians.

A definitive account of the paths to power Mexican political leaders pursued during the period 1884 to 1992.
