This book is about Mexico, and about culture. It begins with a concept of culture, not a survey of Mexico and the Mexicans. With that in mind, it will slide into the importance of understanding Mexico's past, especially regarding the rich mixture of racial and ethnic characteristics it evinces today.

This book reviews the historical development of democracy and the backlash against it, the theoretical character of modern democracy, the practical problems of establishing and maintaining democracy, and the meaning of democracy and its prospects.
