Mexico's Hope tells the dramatic story of the making of modern Mexico, treating all the major developments of the past century of Mexican history. Unusually attentive to the contributions of women, Indians, workers, and peasants, Mexico's Hope is informed by the conviction that the country's most promising prospects today lie in the quest of its poorest people for social justice and democracy-from the recent Zapatista uprisings in Chiapas to ongoing electoral efforts on the left.
Booknews Tells the story of the making of modern Mexico, illuminating the vast divide between Mexico's rich and poor and the stark contrast between the country's corrupt political system and its people's democratic aspirations. Investigates the collusion between foreign interests and a domestic ruling class, and explains why challenges to elite power, including the revolution of 1910-1920 and the 1968 student rebellion, failed to break the grip of the dominant classes. Pays particular attention to contributions of women, Indians, and workers. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
