Excerpt from The Railroads of Mexico Mexico's centennial year, 1910, marked the end of normal conditions throughout the country. Porfirio Diaz, who had brought order out of chaos, was an old man. The voices of discontent were no longer quiet, and the world was asking with renewed interest the question, "After Diaz, what?" Hardly had the great anniversary celebration been concluded when insurrection broke out in the north, and a reign of disorder set in which has continued with varying degrees of violence until the present. When the power that maintains public order breaks down, property interests suffer; and railroads are peculiarly liable to loss and destruction. The regularly constituted government avails itself of its right to take over the lines for military use; equipment is seized for the transportation of troops, munitions, and supplies; and the service essential to the maintenance of commerce and industry is disorganized if not brought to a complete standstill. Revenues fall off, outlays for construction and maintenance are curtailed, and the return to investors is suspended. More serious still is the effect of the activities of the forces of rebellion and disorder. Bridges are destroyed and tracks are torn up to prevent the movement of trains; equipment is seized and buildings arc burned. All varieties of railroad property arc destroyed, sometimes purely for the sake of destruction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Largely absent from our history books is the social history of railroad development in nineteenth-century Mexico, which promoted rapid economic growth that greatly benefited elites but also heavily impacted rural and provincial Mexican residents in communities traversed by the rails. In this beautifully written and original book, Teresa Van Hoy connects foreign investment in Mexico, largely in railroad development, with its effects on the people living in the isthmus of Tehuantepec, Mexico's region of greatest ethnic diversity. Students will be drawn to a fascinating cast of characters, as muleteers, artisans, hacienda peons, convict laborers, dockworkers, priests, and the rural police force (rurales) join railroad regulars in this rich social history. New empirical evidence, some drawn from two private collections, elaborates on the huge informal economy that supported railroad development. Railroad officials sought to gain access to local resources such as land, water, construction materials, labor, customer patronage, and political favors. Residents, in turn, maneuvered to maximize their gains from the wages, contracts, free passes, surplus materials, and services (including piped water) controlled by the railroad. Those areas of Mexico suffering poverty and isolation attracted public investment and infrastructure. A Social History of Mexico's Railroads is the dynamic story of the people and times that were changed by the railroads and is sure to engage students and general readers alike.
