Sinopsis
México's history is long and complex: early sttlements thousands of years ago, refined indigenous civilizations a few centuries back, an overwhelming conquest by a long colonial period, finally independence and national formation, entry into currents of world trade and capitalist development in the late 19th century, a major social revolution 85 years ago, and modernization and economic and social change to the present.
This text was originally written for mass media communication. Its authors are distinguished Mexican historians: Ignacio Bernal, Alejandra Moreno Toscano, Luis González, Eduardo Blanquel, Lorenzo Meyer and Daniel Cosío Villegas.
The foreword, by professor Robert A. Potash, of the University of Massachussets, a specialist in Mexican history, introduces the book to the English-speaking reader. The translation is by Marjory Mattingly Urquidi, an experienced translator of books on Latin American History.
