review 1: In my own humble opinion, the best book about why we are how we are and the many reasons why. An excellent source of information that is not only great and usable information but also provides the necessary back up data.Now--the challenge--if we (Mexicans as myself) decide to take it; is to change for the better....and never give up. We know we can--all we have to do is continue learning and work together, as one.Thank you Mr. Castañeda, this is indeed an excellent work--about Mexico, its history, its people and its complexities. I learned a lot from your book.I wish Mexico's education system implements this book in their recommended readings--we will learn from it for sure. And if we still don't have one--we should start with it.I strongly recommend this book to anyon... moree--young and old--that wishes to learn about Mexico and its people. You will definitely enjoy it and learn much from it.
review 2: From Vincente Fox's former foreign minister and biographer of Che, Jorge Castañeda Gutman, this is a popular examination of Mexican national behavior, from soccer misbehavior, family loyalties, why there are so many blondes in beer ads, the political baggage of Mexican film stock characters, the byzantine system of citizenship law mandated by the Mexican constitution, the debate on how state-distributed textbooks portray Mexican history, machismo, why middle class people resist public transportation in Mexico City and a little of his own Quixotic campaign against Mexico's requirement that official parties have a monopoly on nominating Presidential candidates (a case currently up before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.) less
