Reviews

Toner's insistence on placing disciplines into conversation with each other is to be congratulated-salud! -William French, American Historical Review -- William French * American Historical Review * Deborah Toner's investigation into representations and realities of alcohol use in nineteenth-century Mexico exemplifies the benefits of truly interdisciplinary scholarship. -Amy Robinson, H-Nationalism -- Amy Robinson * H-Nationalism * Alcohol and Nationhood in Nineteenth-Century Mexico is a very welcome addition to scholarship on alcohol culture and nation-forming processes. Undergraduates, graduate students, and academics from disciplines including anthropology, history, Latin American studies, and sociology will all learn something new from this well-researched, clearly written book. -Marie Sarita Gaytan, Historian -- Marie Sarita Gaytan * Historian * Deborah Toner deftly combines the methodologies of history and literary criticism to show how drink was crucial to ideas about the nation in nineteenth-century Mexico. Informed by the findings of the anthropology of alcohol, this book offers important contributions to Mexican social, intellectual, and literary history. -Jeffrey Pilcher, author of Planet Taco: A Global History of Mexican Food -- Jeffrey Pilcher Toner's blending of literary analysis with medical and criminal reports presents a valuable approach to studies of nationalism, Mexico, and Latin America. -James A. Garza, author of The Imagined Underworld: Sex, Crime and Vice in Porfirian Mexico -- James A. Garza
