R. Potash, ‘The historiography of Mexico since 1821’, HAHR, 40/3 (1960) remains useful though it is now out of date. David M. Bailey, ‘Revisionism and the recent historiography of the Mexican Revolution’, HAHR, 58/1 (1978) is an excellent recent survey of the literature on the Revolution. See also Barry Carr, ‘Recent regional studies of the Mexican Revolution’, LARR, 15/1 (1980) and W. D. Raat, The Mexican Revolution – An Annotated Guide to Recent Scholarship (Boston, 1982). The proceedings of the regular meetings of Mexican and U.S. historians are invaluable for their surveys of recent research: from the Oaxtepec meeting in 1969, Investigaciones contemporáneas sobre historia de México (Mexico, D.F., and Austin, Tex., 1971); from Santa Monica in 1973, Contemporary Mexico (Los Angeles and Mexico, D.F., 1976), from Pátzcuaroin 1977, El trabajo y los trabajadores en la historia de México (Mexico, D.F., and Tucson, Ariz., 1979).

Among general works, Jorge Vera Estanol, Historia de la revolución mexicana: Orígenes y resultados (Mexico, D.F., 1957) remains useful if a little old-fashioned and dull. José C. Valadés, Historia general de la revolución mexicana, 5 vols. (Mexico, D.F., 1976) is much more than a general history: it is full of otherwise inaccessible material and brilliant insights. John W. F. Dulles, Yesterday in Mexico: A Chronicle of the Revolution, 1919–36 (Austin, Tex., 1961) is a detailed narrative account of the period. Gustavo Casasola, Historia gráfica de la revolución mexicana, 1900ndash;1970, 10 vols. (Mexico, D.F., 1973) is an important collection of photographs. Later syntheses include Adolfo Gilly, La revolución interrumpida (Mexico, D.F., 1972); Arnaldo Córdova, La ideología de la revolución mexicana (Mexico, D.F., 1973), the best Marxist interpretation; Jean Meyer, La Révolution mexicaine (Paris, 1973); and Ramón E. Ruiz, The Great Rebellion (New York, 1980).
