Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. Size: 8vo-over 7? -9? " tall; Alfred A Knopf Inc., 1985. Hardback Third Printing. Hardcover Book and Dust Jacket in Very Good Condition. An examination of Mexico, a land at once familiar and exotically foreign, vitally connected and interdependent with the United States, yet distanced by an abrasive history of U. S. -Mexican relations and the strong contrast between the two often antithetical cultures. The author examines Mexico's long history, its politics, social and economic conditions, and with portraits of Mexico's political, business and cultural leaders. An astute introduction to a country whose prosperity and stability are vital to America's national interests--and perhaps will help with America's better understanding of its neighbor. Handsome, clean binding of black quarter cloth with bright and bold gilt titles, ivory boards. Solid, square, sharp corners. Top edge of text block is dust dulled, otherwise in Fine Condition. Tan, unclipped jacket with green lettering is clean with slight wear around spine ends. 385 pages with Bibliography and Index. 8vo. 1985, Alfred A Knopf, New York, New York, USA.
Alan Riding knew Mexico well. Problem is that
'Distant Neighbors' describes Mexico as Mexico was before Uncle Sam's idiotic drug war destroyed the social order that prevailed during the eighty-year reign of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Today's Mexico, ravaged by drugs and violence and revolutionary upheaval, bears little resemblance to the place Riding knew.
Still, Riding's book is a good look at what used to be. The knowledge of what used to be will give you a better idea of how radically things have changed in Mexico during the last ten or twenty years. Recommended reading for anyone who is crazy enough to actually go to Mexico these days.
