Mexico -- The Essentials provides an appreciation of the nation's history and culture built on ten fundamental aspects of Mexican life. The authors have written about the topics using an accessible narrative that will attract both those new to the nation and professionals who know it well. The ten essential topics identified by the authors to understand Mexico are: physical and living diversity, politics, family, economy, religion, Mexico City, popular arts, drugs and crimes, migration, and Mexico in global perspective. Looking at the Mexican experience through these ten dimensions provides a fuller account than a simply political or economic narrative and offers the reader a series of approaches that can be easily pursued through additional readings, supplemental video, on-line websites, and personal travel.
