From the Back Cover

"In this local history of global capitalism, Tutino's Braudelian vision brings the Mexican heartland to life, a small place that changed world history. Taking us through five hundred years of history--from Moctezuma to Vicente Fox--the book excels at showing how the interactions of imperial conquerors, peasants, nation-building bureaucrats, capitalists, and workers created the revolution of capitalism, and how, at the same time, the least powerful often succeeded in maintaining surprising degrees of local autonomy. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of capitalism."--Sven Beckert, author of Empire of Cotton: A Global History

"The Mexican Heartland is a wonderful realization of the injunction to research locally and conceptualize globally. Examining centuries of digging and plowing in rural communities around Mexico City, Tutino once again confirms his stature as a scholar who can capture the whole of social relations in the smallest detail of daily life. A tour de force."--Greg Grandin, author of The Empire of Necessity; Fordlandia; and The Last Colonial Massacre

"The Mexican Heartland is an excellent book. Tutino combines a big, systemic picture of structural change with an understanding of how people at the grass roots accommodated, protested, and altered those structures. His argument is convincing and important."--Kenneth Pomeranz, author of The Great Divergence: China, Europe, and the Making of the Modern World Economy

"A major contribution. The Mexican Heartland is a passionate and powerfully told story of capitalism's role in shaping what Mexico is today."--Margaret Chowning, author of Rebellious Nuns: The Troubled History of a Mexican Convent, 1752-1863

"This is a deeply ambitious book with a highly consequential argument. Tutino opens Mexican history to the world and brings world history to Mexico by telling the centuries-long story of the indigenous communities of Mexico's heartland as they faced an emergent global capitalism."--Brian P. Owensby, author of Empire of Law and Indian Justice in Colonial Mexico

John Tutino is professor of history and international affairs and director of the Americas Initiative at Georgetown University. His books include Making a New World: Founding Capitalism in the Bajío and Spanish North America and From Insurrection to Revolution in Mexico: Social Bases of Agrarian Violence, 1750-1940 (Princeton).
