Local history at its best usually includes more than the immediate vicinity. Lisa Pinley Covert’s study of San Miguel de Allende is a prime example. The author integrates history in three dimensions—local, national, and international—to examine the evolution of this small city in the hills of Mexico, 200 miles north of Mexico City and about 550 miles from the border with the United States. San Miguel enjoyed prosperity in the late colonial period only to slip into decline in the nineteenth century. The Revolution of 1910 did not bring substantial change to San Miguel in the 1910s and 1920s, but thereafter an unusual combination of cultural and economic factors altered the historical trajectory of this community.

最好的当地历史通常不仅仅包括附近地区。Lisa Pinley Covert 对圣米格尔德阿连德的研究就是一个很好的例子。作者从三个维度(地方、国家和国际)整合历史,以研究这座位于墨西哥山上的小城市的演变,该城市位于墨西哥城以北 200 英里,距美国边境约 550 英里。圣米格尔在殖民时期后期享有繁荣,但在 19 世纪陷入衰退。1910 年革命并没有给 1910 年代和 1920 年代的圣米格尔带来实质性变化,但此后文化和经济因素的不寻常组合改变了该社区的历史轨迹。
