Caciquismo in Twentieth-Century Mexico

Book Overview

Caciquismo (roughly translated as "boss politics") has played a major role in Mexican political and social life. Loosely knit interest groups, or "caciques," of diverse character--syndicates, farmers, left- and right-wingers, white-collar workers--have exercised great power within Mexico's distinctive political system.
