The Course of Mexican History - Softcover

This highly regarded book--long the standard in its field--draws on both classic and current sources to provide a comprehensive survey of Mexican history from the pre-Columbian period to the present. Covering Mexico's history from a broad range of perspectives--political, economic, social, and cultural--the fully revised and updated Fourth Edition contains important re-evaluations of Classic Maya civilization, a major assessment of the Miguel de la Madrid presidency, and an introduction to the Carlos Salinas de Gortari administration. In addition, a new section on U.S.-Mexico border relations has been added, and bibliographies have been brought up to date throughout.
