The second edition of this accessible study of Mexico; first published in 2006; includes two new features; an examination of cultural developments since Independence from Spain in 1821 and a discussion of contemporary issues up to the time of publication. Several new plates with captions expand the thematic coverage in the book. The updated edition examines the administration of Vicente Fox; who came to power with the elections of 2000. The new sections reinforce the importance of Mexicos long and disparate history; from the Precolumbian era onwards; in shaping the country as it is today. This Concise History looks at Mexico from political; economic and cultural perspectives; and tackles controversial themes such as the impact of the Spanish Conquest and the struggle to establish an independent Mexico. A broad range of readers interested in the modern-day Americas should find here a helpful introduction to this vibrant and dynamic North-American society.

HunsbergerI dont really want to give the book itself a bad review because im sure the paper version of this is fine. Selling this and other "Tab" books for the Kindle though is really a bad idea at least the way its currently done. Here on the notes are very big and clear in the description but the actual book on the Kindle is unreadable without a magnifying glass and cant be changed.0 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
