| book description |

In this concise thousand-year history, one of the worldâ€™s foremost scholars on Latin America explains how Mexicoâ€™s present and future flow directly from its past. Going well beyond a comprehensive description of recent events and crises, Jaime Suchlicki provides an introduction to the countryâ€™s early native civilizations, its natural environment, the Spaniardsâ€™ harsh rule, independence and revolution, the long dominant Partido Revolucionario Institucionalâ€™s demise, and the complex and sometimes tumultuous relationship with the United States. Professor Suchlicki suggests seven major recurring patterns in Mexican history and convincingly describes their contribution to Mexicoâ€™s current and future difficulties. This new edition provides an analysis of recent social, economic, and political developments, including the hotly contested 2006 election, in which the electoral tribunal determined the presidency and Felipe CalderÃ³n became Mexicoâ€™s second consecutive president from the Partido AcciÃ³n Nacional (PAN). Finally, Suchlicki also analyzes the current state of U.S.â€“Mexican relations on key issues such as immigration. Mexico is essential reading for anyone seeking an up-to-date perspective on Americaâ€™s neighbor to the south.
