"Ristow’s new work is an engaging, eminently readable investigation of the brief period when many revolutions seemed possible. He illuminates the continuities in elite political ideology, if not elites themselves, across the revolutionary divide while emphasizing the new impossibility of ignoring popular mobilization."—Casey Marina Lurtz, Hispanic American Historical Review
"[A Revolution Unfinished] is a compelling and convincing read and represents a significant contribution to our understanding of Mexico’s modern political history."—Thomas Rath, H-LatAm
“A perceptive ‘micro-history’ that also tells us a great deal about the macro-history of the Mexican Revolution.”—Alan Knight, author of The Mexican Revolution: A Very Short Introduction
“[A] carefully considered investigation. . . . Ristow clearly has a talent for historical narrative.”—Francie Chassen-Lopez, author of From Liberal to Revolutionary Oaxaca: The View from the South, Mexico 1867–1911
“Extremely original and innovative. . . . There are no books that flag the mechanics and paradoxes of Juchiteco politics in such an elegant, fine-grained, and sharp manner.”—Benjamin Smith, author of The Roots of Conservatism in Mexico: Catholicism, Society, and Politics in the Mixteca Baja, 1750–1962
