Mexico's Middle Class in the Neoliberal Era

Mexico's Middle Class in the Neoliberal Era

Dennis Gilbert (Hamilton College)

University of Arizona Press
2007

Mexico's modern middle class emerged in the decades after World War II, a period of spectacular economic growth and social change. Though little studied, the middle class now accounts for one in five Mexican households. This path-breaking book explores the changing fortunes and political transformation of the middle class, especially during the last two decades, as Mexico has adopted new, market-oriented economic policies and has abandoned one-party rule. Blending the personal narratives of middle-class Mexicans with analyses of national surveys of households and voters, Dennis Gilbert traces the development of the middle class since the 1940s. He describes how middle-class Mexicans were affected by the economic upheavals of the 1980s and 1990s and examines their shifting relations with the ruling Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI). Long faithful to the PRI, the middle class gradually grew disenchanted. Gilbert examines middle-class reactions to the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre, the 1982 debt crisis, the government's feeble response to the 1985 Mexico City earthquake, and its brazen manipulation of the vote count in the 1988 presidential election.Drawing on detailed interviews with Mexican families, he describes the effects of the 1994?95 peso crisis on middle-class households and their economic and political responses to it. His analysis of exit poll data from the 2000 elections shows that the lopsided middle-class vote in favor of opposition candidate Vicente Fox played a critical role in the election that drove the PRI from power after seven decades. The book closes with an epilogue on the middle class and the July 2006 presidential elections.

From Not Exactly Rocket Scientists II: The Totally Unnecessary Sequel"Of the thousands of choices I've had to make in my life, one of the most important was deciding not to dig up Lenny Bruce." From the Schill story "Where's Los Angeles?"In this sequel to Not Exactly Rocket Scientists and Other Stories, three lifelong friends, all eventual graduates of the University of Virginia, rush headlong into the chaos of the mid-sixties. The headwinds would be fickle and strong, but they make it through the frothy nonsense of the Aquarian Age with an unshakable faith in friendship, a healthy sense of the ridiculous, a lot of luck, and over twenty new "mostly true" stories. You will encounter old friends and meet new ones too: guys named Squeak and Snatcher from a house called Delta, a character named Rasputin from a university named Virginia, a curse named McFarland, and even a proverb from Turkey. And you will travel from a naked beach in Denmark to a bar above Lake Cayuga, with stops along the way from the Alamo to Tijuana, although you will not actually visit the grave of Lenny Bruce. But you will share a little rye whiskey with Jerry Lee Lewis, attend the trial of a rascally mouse, and learn how to make a martini properly. So buckle up and come along for the ride."The fraternity brothers in the 1978 film Animal House would love this rip-roaringly funny collection. You will nod approvingly at the lessons of friendship, the value of mentors with a sense of humor, and the lasting influence and love of place, concluding that this road trip was well worth the time." --Landis Wade, author of Deadly Declarations and host of Charlotte Readers Podcast "This is a marvelous set of tales of a different time in America...equal parts daring, naive, foolish, and ambitious. With results usually unplanned, but often hilarious, you're sure to chuckle at many, and laugh long and out loud at many more." --R. M. Burgess, author of six novels including the successful Roxy Reid series "You think it's easy, making people laugh out loud with the written word? Think about it: most of the humor you've read makes you smile, feel amused, bemused, charmed, entertained. Not Exactly Rocket Scientists II makes you erupt in laughter. Out-loud, no-holds-barred yukking it up. The kind of laughter that makes people in the other room call out, "What in the world's going on in there?" The three authors have raised self-effacing humor to a masterpiece level. I'm telling you, buy Not Exactly Rocket Scientists II ..." --Barry Dickson, author of Maybe Today
