"This narrative history of Mexico through 1998 will help students and interested readers to understand the long, distinguished, and sometimes turbulent history of our neighbor to the south. Surveying Mexico from the arrival of the first humans in the Western Hemisphere to current issues at the turn of the new century, Kirkwood dispels many of the stereotypes about Mexico, its history, and its people."--BOOK JACKET.
Katie Pickles
"Through a detailed study of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, or the IODE, the British Empire's largest women's patriotic organisation, this book examines the relationship between female imperialism and national identity. It throws new light on women's involvement in imperialism; on the history of 'conservative' women's organisations; on women's interventions in debates concerning citizenship and national identity; and on the history of women in white settler societies." "This important study of a fascinating organisation will be of interest to historians of Imperial History, Gender Studies and Postcolonial Studies."--Jacket.
Paul Thompson
