Reviews
"This important book, by an exceptionally shrewd, sophisticated and deeply knowledgeable analyst, deserves a place on the short shelf of classics about modern Mexico that includes Alan Riding's Distant Neighbors and Paz's The Labyrinth of Solitude." --Los Angeles Times

"Castañeda presents an impassioned and erudite case for a rethinking of old Mexican habits. His background makes him especially well positioned to explain his native land to an international audience." --The New York Times Book Review

"A revolutionary book about Mexico. . . . I never thought I would read a book by a Mexican that acknowledges that Mexicans have more to gain in venturing to America than U.S. dollars." --Richard Rodriguez, The San Francisco Chronicle

"A lively and perceptive analysis of Mexican society. . . . [Castañeda] is an unusual and important voice in Mexico." --The Economist
