From the Publisher:
Humanistic in approach and based on the latest available research, this text explores the experience of the Mexican people and their culture -- not the Mexican state or Mexican politics -- from independence to the present. It examines the national boundary not as a barrier, but as the setting of complex interactions resulting in the convergence of cultures; and, in so doing, reveals the Mexican experience not only in Mexico, but in what is today the southwestern U.S.
