About this book
Industrial workers, not just peasants, played an essential role in the Mexican Revolution. Tracing the introduction of mechanized industry into the Orizaba Valley, Aurora Gómez-Galvarriato argues convincingly that the revolution cannot be understood apart from the Industrial Revolution, and thus provides a fresh perspective on both transformations.

Reviews
Stephen Haber, Stanford University:
Industry and Revolution is an important addition to both the literature on the economic history of Mexico and the literature on the economic effects of civil wars and revolutions. It is a powerful demonstration of how careful archival research can be marshaled to answer big social science questions.

Edward Beatty, University of Notre Dame:
A new and exciting contribution to our understanding of modern Mexico. Ambitious in scope and compelling in the strength of its analysis and argument, this is a superb economic history of the Mexican textile industry that also addresses the critical issues of politics and workers' welfare. Industry and Revolution will become a must-read for all historians of Mexico.
