Moving beyond the tequila-soaked cliches of Mexican tourism, this
multifaceted book explores the influence and experiences of
Americans in Mexico since World War II. The authors trace Mexico's
growing role as an important refuge for Americans seeking not only
sun and fun but also an alternative cultural and social model. And
on the other side of the border, Mexican citizens and politicians
have responded in creative and unexpected ways to growing numbers
of migrants from their northern neighbor. Delving into the rich and
varied worlds of political exiles, students, art dealers,
retiree/artist colonies, and tourist zones, this work illustrates
why large numbers of Americans have been irresistibly drawn to
Mexico for the past sixty years. Specialists in literature,
anthropology, history, and geography bring their unique
perspectives to the stories of both short- and long-term migrants.
Together their essays illuminate the complex goals and impact of
American tourism, offering a fascinating interpretation to all
those interested in modern Mexican history, border studies,
tourism, and retirement in Mexico. Contributions by: Diana Anhalt,
Dina M. Berger, Nicholas Dagen Bloom, Michael Chibnik, Drewey Wayne
Gunn, Janet Henshall Momsen, Rebecca M. Schreiber, Rebecca Torres,
David Truly, and Richard W. Wilkie
