Louise E. Walker is a historian of Mexico and Latin America. She is author of Waking from the Dream: Mexico’s Middle Classes after 1968 (Stanford University Press, 2013). It examines how the middle classes shaped the history of economic and political crisis in the 1970s and 1980s, facilitating the emergence of neo-liberalism and the transition to democracy. Waking from the Dream won prizes and honors from the Latin American Studies Association, the Social Science History Association, and the Rocky Mountain Council for Latin American Studies.
