 Lonely
Planet Travel Guide: Mexico. Initially
specializing in Asia guidebooks, the Lonely Planet Travel
Survival Kit series has long been a favorite of budget
travelers all over the globe. Lonely Planet guides have a
reputation for plainspoken and practical advice as well
as thoughtful writing about history and culture, and
Lonely Planet Mexico is no exception. Complementing the
information about sights, accommodations, and food are
extensive background notes about each region's notable
past and present characteristics, from cuisine to
geography to art. www.amazon.com
 The Mexico Reader: History,
Culture, Politics. This massive compilation of
articles, essays, poetry, and photographs provides a
wonderful introduction to the history and culture of
Mexico. The editors are both historians with extensive
backgrounds in Latin American and Mexican history. They
have selected an eclectic mix of writers, many of them
Mexican, including Carlos Fuentes and Octavio Paz. Topics
range from the origins and growth of the Aztec Empire to
the causes of the Mexican Revolution to the problems
facing modern Mexico. There are well-thought-out
political tracts here, as well as screeds against
political corruption and economic exploitation that drip
with outrage. What emerges is a portrait of the
"many Mexicos" in which the wealthy, the
growing middle class, and the impoverished indigenous
peoples are all struggling to find their place in an
exciting and rapidly changing land. This work is ideal
for general readers, and one hopes it will encourage many
to read and learn more about this important and diverse
nation. www.amazon.com
