Last Among Equals is the first detailed account of Hawaii's quest for statehood. It is a story of struggle and accommodation, of how Hawaii was gradually absorbed into the politcal, economic, and ideological structures of American life. It also recounts the complex process that came into play when the states of the Union were confronted with the difficulty of granting admission to a non-contiguous territory with an overwhelmingly non-Caucasian population. More than any previous study of modern Hawaii, this book explains why Hawaii's legitimate claims to equality and autonomy as a state were frustrated for more than half a century.Last Among Equals is sure to remain a standard reference for modern Hawaiian and American political historians. As important, it will require a reevaluation of two commonly held myths: that of racial harmony in Hawaii and that of automatic equality under the Constitution of the United States.

The Inter-American Law Review (IALR) (formerly Lawyer of the Americas) is a scholarly international legal periodical run entirely by second and third year law students at the University of Miami School of Law. The review is devoted to providing a forum through which legal scholars, practitioners, and students discuss major international and inter-American legal and legally-related developments. IALR is recognized as the only student-run periodical to focus solely on legal issues which directly affect Latin America and the Caribbean. With the continuing emergence of Miami as a center of international trade, finance, and law, the focus of IALR becomes increasingly important and relevant to the surrounding environs.

Basada en los múltiples trabajos de interpretación de la revolución mexicana, esta obra analiza sus distintas y contradictorias etapas, sin limitarse a San Luis Potosí. También describe los diversos intereses de los grupos sociales que participan en el derrocamiento de Porfirio Díaz y en la construcción de un orden nuevo. Éste, sin embargo, no pudo terminar con las antiguas estructuras agrarias ni con el poder caciquil.
