The first period (1820–1840)  comprises the founding of the republic and the early constitutional  experiments. The most important authors in this creative and turbulent  period were José María Luis Mora, Lorenzo de Zavala, Valentín Gómez  Farías, and Lucas Alamán. During the era of liberal authority, in the  third quarter of the century (1845–1876),  the most significant figures included Mariano Otero, Ignacio Ramírez,  Francisco Zarco, Ignacio Manuel Altamirano, Guillermo Prieto, José María  Lafragua, and Benito Juárez. The rule of Porfirio Díaz (1876–1912)  provided lively debates over the nature of the liberal legacy. The key  authors for this period were Justo Sierra, José María Vigil, and Emilio  Rabasa. Essays by Jorge Cuesta and Antonio Caso provide a  twentieth-century viewpoint on the subject, and the three selections by  Octavio Paz round out and summarize the discussions. The texts in this  edition will refute commonly held notions that the liberal project in  Latin America had no indigenous roots. The institutions of modern  representative government and free-market capitalism were very much part  of the founding of Mexico.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLiberty in Mexico\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e offers direct access to  primary sources that are not available to readers in English.
