Books by Timothy J. Henderson

Mexico's struggle for independence was as much a series of civil wars and failed social revolutions as it was a war to separate Mexico from Spain. This book presents an account of the era, and shows why the revolution failed to bring about meaningful and sorely needed reform.

Tells a tale of political intrigue, violence, shifting allegiances, extreme poverty, and the recalcitrance of one woman. This book is an interpretation of the Mexican revolution and the failure of agrarian reform. It is for those interested in the modern history of Mexico, Latin Americanists, scholars of agrarian history, and others.
