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.
