A must for any Latin American studies
department, Mexican scholar or researcher, Revolutionary Days is NOT a "today in history" type time-line, but the ONLY guide to the daily events of the Mexican Revolution that includes the references and sources needed for scholarly investigation. Revolutionary Days is timed to coincide with the Centennial of the Mexican Revolution, but as a basic reference, will never go out of date.
Spanning all of
Mexico over the
course of a decade, the Mexican Revolution was a complex, and complicated, series
of over-lapping, simultaneous, sometimes contradictory and – frustrating –
military and political actions that baffle even the experts... UNTIL NOW.
Ray Acosta has done the impossible, writing a
day by day calendar of the Revolution, and – for the scholar and researcher –
included source material and bibliographic data (from respected sources, and where contradictory, so noted) that have never been able to cross check themselves.
Editorial preparation for Revolutionary Days is slightly behind (as of November 2009), but publication is expected by the Spring of 2010. The book will be available in both paperback and on-line e-book formats. Expected to be about 200 pages, the price (to be determined) should be in the range of 20 USD (250 MXP).
