The History of Mexico: From Pre-Conquest to Present - Première édition

The History of Mexico: Pre-Colonial Era to the Present traces the last 500 years of Mexican history, from the Indigenous empires that were devastated by the Spanish conquest to the election of 2006. In lively and engaging prose, Philip Russell guides readers through such major themes as the status of women, environmental change, the status of and policy concerning Mexico's indigenous people, African slavery and the role of race generally, government economic policy, and relations with the US, among others. The book offers a straightforward chronological survey of Mexican history from the pre-colonial times to the present, and includes a glossary and numerous tables and images. The companion website provides many useful student tools, including multiple choice questions, extra book chapters, and links to online resources, as well as digital copies of the maps from the book.
