This single volume reference resource offers students, scholars,
and general readers alike an in-depth background on Mexico, from
the complexity of its pre-Columbian civilizations to its social and
political development in the context of Western civilization. How
did modern Mexico become a nation of multicultural diversity and
rich indigenous traditions? What key roles do Mexico's non-Western,
pre-Columbian indigenous heritage and subsequent development as a
major center in the Spanish colonial empire play the country's
identity today? How is Mexico today both Western and non-Western,
part Native American and part European, simultaneously traditional
and modern? Modern Mexico is a thematic encyclopedia that broadly
covers the nation's history, both ancient and modern; its
government, politics, and economics; as well as its culture,
religion traditions, philosophy, arts, and social structures.
Additional topics include industry, labor, social classes and
ethnicity, women, education, language, food, leisure and sport, and
popular culture. Sidebars, images, and a Day in the Life feature
round out the coverage in this accessible, engaging volume. Readers
will come to understand how Mexico and the Mexican people today are
the result of the processes of transculturation, globalization, and
civilizational contact.
