In Stormy Passage: Mexico from Colony to Republic, 1750-1850 (Rowman & Littlefield, 2022), Eric Van Young draws on four decades of extraordinary scholarship on colonial and nineteenth-century Mexico to capture the crucial hundred years of the country's transition from a Spanish colony to a modernized, independent nation. From the colonial twilight and the Bourbon Reforms to the wars of insurgency and independence from 1810-1821, from the consummation of independence to the instability, struggles, and tragic losses of the early Republican era, Van Young's social, economic, and political survey of an overlooked span of events provides a rare general history for English language readers. Stormy Passage is sure to become a benchmark text for students and scholars of Mexican history. Eric Van Young is Distinguished Professor of History at the University of California, San Diego.
