Yucatan in an Era of Globalization Format: Paperback

This work describes the profound changes to Yucatán’s society and economy following the 1982 debt crisis that prostrated Mexico’s economy. The editors have assembled contributions from seasoned “Yucatecologists”—historians, geographers, cultural students, and an economist—to chart the accelerated change in Yucatán from a monocrop economy to a full beneficiary and victim of rampant globalization. 

Eric N. Baklanoff is Board of Visitors Research Professor of Economics Emeritus at the University of Alabama. He is the author of Agrarian Reform and Public Enterprise in Mexico: The Political Economy of Yucatán’s Henequen Industry, with Jeffery Brannon, among other works.
