James D. Riley has taught history at The Catholic University of America for the past 27 years. For much of that time, he has been researching the social and political history of landholding in the province of Tlaxcala in the Colonial period. He is interested in religious culture, class and gender relations, agriculture, and the political processes through which Mexico has evolved over the past two hundred years into a functional democracy. He has been fortunate enough to be able to teach at an institution that has tolerated his flights of fancy.
