La révolution mexicaine : d'abord une révolution minière ?

The Mexican revolution : primarily a miner's revolution ? The Mexican revolution is traditionally explained by reference to the notions of the political revolution of the middle classes and of agrarian revolution. Evidence for the role of the most modern regions and sectors of the economy and the connection between political claims and the agrarian revolution is rarely put forward. An analysis of the revolutionary uprisings of 1910-1911 shows the major role played within the revolution by the pioneering zones of the North, and most particularly by the mining areas. It was these zones, with their mobile and less rooted population, which had experienced the most rapid modernization during the PorfiriateGuerra François-Xavier.
