history with other Latin American countries.
Looking back over the last century, it would be
fair to say that Mexico has been a typical Latin
American country in the sense that it has had a
history of corruption, instability, and has
beholden more to foreigners than the will of its
people. Like many other Latin American countries,
corruption was an aspect in Mexico's history as
well. The Diaz era, which last...

floggings as his master saw fit; the hired servant

service; the convicts, often including political
offenders, were slaves of the state and sometimes
sold to private own...
