A Brief History of Mexico: Revised Edition
by Lynne Foster

From the Brief History series.

Placing current events in a broad historical context, A Brief History of Mexico, published in 1997, surveyed 30 centuries of enduring civilization. Events in the years since A Brief History of Mexico was written have been so dramatic--Mexico has faced its most profound political and economic changes since the Revolution of 191that an updated edition is essential.

Covering all of Mexico's history--from the rise of the first civilization of North America continuing through the cataclysm of the Spanish conquest and the explosive revolution of Zapata and Pancho Villa to the democratic reforms that ended 70 years of PRI-party domination of Mexican politics--A Brief History of Mexico, Revised Edition brings readers up to date on Mexico's history and helps them understand the deeper significance of recent events. While focusing on the latest developments in Mexican history and society, this revised edition also incorporates recent research on past events, such as the settling of the Americas and the Tlateloco Massacre of 1968. A new introduction, new appendixes, and new photographs complete this thoroughly updated edition.

Special attention is given to:

• The new era of Mexican politics that began when voters enthusiastically elected Vicente Fox president, including the 2003 Congressional elections
• The challenge of revitalizing Mexico's people and resources in this new period of multi-party democracy as well as the effects of the change in government on everything from labor relations and political corruption to television news
• Indigenous peoples, the environment, and culture
• NAFTA and the increasing participation of Mexican Americans in Mexican politics and culture.
