Drawing on materials ranging from archaeological findings to recent
studies of migration issues and drug violence, William H. Beezley
provides a dramatic narrative of human events as he recounts the
story of Mexico in the context of world history. Beginning with the
Mayan and Aztec civilizations and their brutal defeat at the hands
of the Conquistadors, Beezley highlights the penetrating effect of
Spain's three-hundred-year colonial rule, during which Mexico
became a multicultural society marked by Roman Catholicism and the
Spanish language. Independence, he shows, was likewise marked by
foreign invasions and huge territorial losses, this time at the
hands of the United States, who annexed a vast land mass--including
the states of Texas, New Mexico, and California--and remained a
powerful presence along the border. The 1910 revolution propelled
land, educational, and public health reforms, but later governments
turned to authoritarian rule, personal profits, and marginalization
of rural, indigenous, and poor Mexicans. Throughout this eventful
chronicle, Beezley highlights the people and international forces
that shaped Mexico's rich and tumultuous history.
