A complete, accessible, and nonacademic history of Mexico for general readers, this volume is a solidly researched introduction to a surprisingly multicultural, multifaceted nation. Presenting Mexico as it is and often with a refreshing wit and humor, this history puts flesh and bones on the dusty figures of the past while shedding light on the common humanity of the uncommon humans who created this unique country and its culture. From Mayans and Spanish conquistadors to guerillas and tourist invasions, the full thread of Mexican history is told here in a fresh, lively, uncompromising narrative for scholars, general readers, and generations to come.

More than a straightforward compendium of people, places, events, and dates involved in the Mexican Revolution, this reference is designed as a guide to the basic sources, allowing readers to draw upon the best of modern scholarship on the topic. A complete, chronological listing of the persons and events of the revolution, it begins with the births of the main personages in the 1800s and continues through the final battle of the revolution. References are compiled in a clear, concise, chronological order, cutting through the otherwise overwhelming nature of an event that sprawled across the length and breadth of a country for more than a decade. While even the most magisterial of works dealing with the revolution are only able to focus on a single figure, movement, or particular region in the country, this volume ties all the complexity and chaos of the world’s first popular social revolution together, putting historical details at the fingertips of students and scholars.

Revolutionary Days: A Chronology of the Mexican Revolution

Ray S. Acosta

A step-by-step guide on how to successfully adapt to the cultural differences of living in Mexico, rather than a nuts-and-bolts book about moving there, the information offered here will help any new or would-be expat or snowbird avoid the inevitable pitfalls of living in a foreign country. The book begins with the author’s own story of immersion and then is given over to invaluable advice presented in an A-to-Z format that takes the culture shock out of moving to Mexico so it can be enjoyed without frustration. Information on topics such as communication, driving, family, love, and work is followed by a brief history of the country, and for entrepreneurs, a short chapter on how the author and her husband started their own successful business in Mexico.
