Mexico - A Brief History (Paperback)

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 Hernindez Chivez takes into account new historiographyOCowhich is fully integrated with anthropology, political science, economics, and international relationsOCoto 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 historyOCofar from being one of violent change, uprisings, and revolutionOCotended more toward stability and political collaboration. Hernindez Chivez 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."
