Mexico – A Brief History

Beginning with the pre-Hispanic period and ending with the latest democratic developments of the twenty-first century, this definitive one-volume history of Mexico analyzes the ways that economic, social, and political dynamics have interacted to shape the nation`s past. Alicia Hernandez Chavez takes into account new historiography–which is fully integrated with anthropology, political science, economics, and international relations–to present an original and fresh interpretation of the structures and processes that determined the country`s evolution. Based on the latest sources in both Spanish and other languages, this book illustrates that Mexico`s history–far from being one of violent change, uprisings, and revolution–tended more toward stability and political collaboration. Hernandez Chavez argues that Mexicans relied on tradition and institutions to effect change, resorting to disorder and destruction as little as possible. Numerous maps, tables, and charts support the text, providing extensive information on geography, social structures, the economy, politics, education, health, and transportation.
