The Course of Mexican History

This highly regarded text, long the standard in its field, draws on both classic and recent sources to provide a comprehensive survey of Mexican history from the pre-Columbian period to the present. Covering Mexico's story from a broad range of perspectives--political, economic, social, and
cultural--this fully revised fifth edition incorporates the passage of NAFTA, an assessment of the Salinas administration, the repudiation of the Revolution, the assassination of Mexico's leading presidential candidate, Luis Donaldo Colosio, and the rebellion of Maya Indians in Chiapas in 1994.
Lavishly illustrated throughout, this authoritative classic is indispensable for students of Mexican history, politics, and culture.
