modern Mexico. In this book, readers will find rich, in-depth

familiar with Mexico and Latin America. Each entry functions as a
portal into Mexican history, culture, and politics, while also
showing how cultural phenomena have transformed over the years and
continue to resonate into today. Provides novel interpretations
into well-established elements of Mexican history, politics, and
culture Supplies reference material that will appeal both to
professors and high school teachers preparing for lectures as well

Mexican culture rarely explored by scholars, such as "gringo,"
"alebrije," and "sombrero" Brings together a genuinely

anthropologists, political scientists, and ethnomusicologists,

identity
