<p> An excellent study of the paradoxical decline in political participation among Mexico's poor in the wake of democratization and decentralization. The author combines qualitative and quantitative methods in a clear and accessible way, and the interview data is especially rich and illuminating. <br> --Katrina Burgess, Tufts University

Well written and clearly structured. . . . provocative and significant findings. --Bulletin of Latin American Research An excellent study of the paradoxical decline in political participation among Mexico's poor in the wake of democratization and decentralization. The author combines qualitative and quantitative methods in a clear and accessible way, and the interview data is especially rich and illuminating. --Katrina Burgess, Tufts University Holzner has crafted a challenging, thoughtful, and provocative interpretation contradicting theories that suggest democracy increases political participation among the poor. This work is particularly relevant to Mexico, but Holzner's conclusions have widespread implications for any society completing the transition to a democratic model. A welcome, fresh insight to the consequences of democratic transitions in the region. --Roderic Ai Camp, Claremont McKenna College
