Mexico Inside Out

Mexico is a country of upheavals: it's not only a land of volcanoes and earthquakes, but historically it has seen empires rise and fall, and revolutions bring dramatic changes to its society. This short book offers an up-to-date analysis of all aspects of life in Mexico today. It includes a look at Mexico's geography and history; its peoples, economy and cultural life; and the political problems facing the current administration, from drugs violence to severe environmental challenges. President López Obrador has promised to achieve the country's 'fourth transformation': Mexico Inside Out examines what that means and requires.

Mexico Inside Out provides an introduction to the country for student and traveler alike, all those who want to know more about the real Mexico than is found in an ordinary guidebook.
