The Mexico Reader by Gilbert M Joseph
This revised and updated edition of The Mexico Reader provides an expansive and comprehensive guide to the many varied histories and cultures of Mexico, from pre-Columbian times to the twenty-first century.
“A wonderful introduction to the history and culture of Mexico. . . This work is ideal for general readers, and one hopes it will encourage many to read and learn more about this important and diverse nation.” -- Jay Freeman, * The Booklist (praise for the first edition) *
“Anyone who has a keen interest in Mexico—in delving deep into the country’s rich history and culture before going there—would be fascinated by this book.” -- June Sawyers, * Chicago Tribune (praise for the first edition) *
“There is an impressive, even passionate, commitment to excavating the embedded cultural, political, and economic reference points that arguably constitute something called a Mexican nationalist imaginary. At the same time, the editors have methodologically sought out the contradictions of that imaginary, offering both official, and many unofficial, voices. The result simultaneously exposes and subverts the nation’s foundational fictions.” -- Eric Zolov, * Hispanic American Historical Review (praise for the first edition) *
