Spanning the full breadth of Mexico's long and storied past in one
compact volume, Epic Mexico provides an unparalleled view of
Mexican history, at once comprehensive, succinct, and consistently
engaging. The book's story reaches from the days of the saber-tooth
tiger to those of its perhaps more dangerous modern counterpart,
the narco-trafficker; and from the time of the Olmec and the Aztec
through the Spanish Conquest to the complex pluralistic society of
contemporary Mexico. Although the book does not shrink from today's
urgent issues - including public violence, environmental
challenges, public health problems, and struggles with diversity -
historian Terry Rugeley underscores the many important
accomplishments of the Mexican people over time, balancing
political crises with genuine triumphs. Along with matters
political and military, Epic Mexico addresses the development of
the arts, including literature, music, and cinema. The volume also
keeps an eye on the nation's long and often problematic
relationship with its neighbor to the north. Though concise, Epic
Mexico presents an inclusive portrait of Mexican history and
society, exploring the varied roles and contributions of native
ethnicities, Africans, women, immigrants, and peoples of different
regional and religious orientations. It is the most thorough and
thoroughly readable one-volume history of Mexico from antiquity to
our day.
