This diverse collection of primary sources offers something for everyone, from the neophyte student to the seasoned expert. Undergraduate students in particular will gain not only a deeper understanding but also a greater appreciation of Mexico’s complex and often surprising history. The documents are curated with sensitivity to the popular voices that are so often silent in the historical narrative. What we hear are past Mexicans—from every social position and walk of life—telling their own story.

A remarkably innovative collection of documents that will appeal to all types of learning styles. Incorporating written, oral, and visual documents with clear guidance on promoting a multilayered interpretation, Beezley and Rankin introduce students to a cultural approach to major themes and periods in Mexican history since independence. By turns whimsical and weighty, the documents—covering topics from Allende to the Zapatistas—offer readers engaging insight into Mexican responses to over two hundred years of adversity and opportunity.
