Beginning with the pre-Hispanic period & ending with the latest democratic developments of the twenty-first century, this definitive one-volume history of Mexico analyzes the ways that economic, social, & political dynamics have interacted to shape the nation`s past. Alicia Hernandez Chavez takes into account new historiography--which is fully integrated with anthropology, political science, economics, & international relations--to present an original & fresh interpretation of the structures & processes that determined the country`s evolution. Based on the latest sources in both Spanish & other languages, this book illustrates that Mexico`s history--far from being one of violent change, uprisings, & revolution--tended more toward stability & political collaboration. Hernandez Chavez argues that Mexicans relied on tradition & institutions to effect change, resorting to disorder & destruction as little as possible. Numerous maps, tables, & charts support the text, providing extensive information on geography, social structures, the economy, politics, education, health, & transportation. ...
