El Levantamiento Delahuertista

Resumen del Libro

Revisionist view of the traditional interpretation of 1923 revolt as a reaction against Obregóns imposition of Calles. Authors study four different regional revolts between 1923-24, all with different leaders and provoked by different causes: Rómulo Figueroa in Guerrero, Enrique Estrada in Jalisco, Guadalupe Sánchez in Veracruz, and Fortunato Maycotte in Oaxaca. Rebels failed because of a lack of central control or unifying program. Adolfo de la Huerta played only a decorative role in the armed movement against Obregón –Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
