Alan Gerstle’s Reviews > The Mexico Reader: History, Culture, Politics > Status Update

Mexico has an extremely complex history. This anthology has primary source material that helps unpack 400 years of it. That a lot of unpacking. While a good introduction, it could have a "rabbit hole" effect. There is so much to study and understand. Unlike U.S. history, there are many convoluted threads and false starts in Mexico 's identity as a country.
