Reader Reviews
This book was somewhat of a disappointment. I am an adult student of Spanish and have developed a keen interest in -- but am still a relative novice on -- the history of Mexico. I bought this book after having read several short accounts of Mexican history -- for example, various travel guide history sections (including the relatively thoughtful Insight/Discovery Channel Guide). Additionally, I have studied Mexican history on several academic websites. I bought this book hoping to "pull it all together" and get a solid foundation. Instead, I got book that was admittedly interesting ... BUT was a disjointed collection of articles written by different authors in different styles that (1) assumed a much greater base knowledge that I had and (2) concentrated on just a few social and political issues and eras and left huge chronological gaps. So ... I'd recommend that you buy this book ONLY if you don't need it ... that is, that you already are conversant in Mexican history. A better selection as a primer might be The Course of Mexican History by Meyer, Sherman and Deeds -- designed as a textbook, but pretty readable.
