Drawing on a remarkably broad range of sources Covert makes a convincing case that the remaking of San Miguel de Allende's past anticipates the modern Mexican right's cultural and economic project for the country's future. -Ben Fallaw, author of Religion and State Formation in Postrevolutionary Mexico -- Ben Fallaw Covert's study is invaluable. . . . Its breadth of sources includes several private archives and interviews with dozens of residents. The study enriches the historiographies of Mexican-US relations, Mexican industrialization, cultural imperialism, gender, and inequality. . . . Given these advantages and a longue duree scope, running from 1935 to the near present, San Miguel de Allende is instructive reading for a host of scholars and eminently assignable to undergraduates. -Andrew Paxman, Hispanic American Historical Review -- Andrew Paxman * Hispanic American Historical Review * From its striking cover to its engaging prose, Lisa Pinley Covert's San Miguel de Allende: Mexicans, Foreigners, and the Making of a World Heritage Site enriches a growing, and increasingly sophisticated, body of historical scholarship on twentieth-century Mexican tourism development. -Evan Ward, H-LatAm -- Evan Ward * H-LatAm *
