- catalog abstract ""Feeding Mexico: The Political Uses of Food since 1910 traces the Mexican government's intervention in the regulation, production, and distribution of food from the days of Cardenas to the recent privatization inspired by NAFTA. Professor Ochoa argues that the real goals of the government's food subsidies were political, driven by presidential desires to court urban labor." "Feeding Mexico is the first study to examine the creation of networks to deliver food products to the people, the relationship of these channels of distribution to the food crisis, and the role of the state in trying to ameliorate the problem. Based on exhaustive research of new archival material and richly documented with statistical tables, this study exposes the dynamics and outcome of social policy in twentieth-century Mexico. One of the few books to examine the roots of the current crisis, Feeding Mexico is valuable resource for the study of Mexican history, political science, and public policy."--Jacket.".
