The Expulsion of Mexico's Spaniards, 1821-1836
Author: Harold Sims
Publisher: University of Pittsburgh Pre
ISBN: 0822976684
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
Winner of the Arthur P. Whitaker Prize as "the best book in Latin American Studies in 1990-1991Mexico's colonial experience had left a bitter legacy. Many believed that only the physical removal of the old colonial elite could allow the creation of a new political and economic order. While expulsion seemed to provide the answer, the expulsion decrees met stiff resistance and caused a tug-of-war between enforcement and evasion that went on for years. Friendship, family influence, intrigue, and bribery all played a role in determining who left and who stayed. After years of struggle, the movement died down, but not until three-quarters of Mexico's peninsulares had been forced to leave. Expulsion had the effect of crippling a once flourishing economy, with the flight of significant capital.

The Tabasco Lowlands of Southeastern Mexico

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
The Tabasco lowlands form Mexico's largest alluvial coastal plain. Bordering the southernmost part of the Gulf of Mexico, these lowlands are hot and wet. They afford a laboratory in which to examine physical processes and living conditions within a humid tropical coastal environment. Geologically, the lowlands are composed of two distinct surfaces: (1) the Recent alluvial plain, made up of river deltas, flood plains, and beach deposits; and (2), farther inland, the Pleistocene alluvial surface of highly weathered stream-deposited sediments. The morphology of the Recent alluvial plain is a product of Mexico's two most voluminous rivers, the Grijalva-Mezcalapa and the Usumacinta. Several tropical vegetation formations, each with its particular faunal assemblage, once covered the Tabasco lowlands. Before its alteration by man a dense rain forest was the most extensive formation, followed in size by freshwater marsh in interlevee depressions. Despite a seemingly unfavorable environment, the Tabasco deltaic plain was well populated in pre-Columbian times, as evidenced by archeology and early Spanish accounts. After 400 years of demographic and economic decline, the lowlands have only recently regained population densities and economic importance comparable to those before the Conquest. (Author).
