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,
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.
