Review: Interesting Read! - I particularly enjoyed reading and further learning about Mexican culture and tradition. It touches on subjects, that I as a Mexican born, but U.S. educated, had not learned about. It was a fabulous introductory history book and analysis on Mexican history. This is one of those books from college I know I will keep in my personal library collection for years to come. It begins with our indigenous roots and touches into various cultural beliefs and customs and explains them in a manner that made everything "click". Truly recommend this book if you are searching for a precise yet interesting read on mexican culture and history!
Review: Outstanding collection - Different and refreshing approach to Mexican history. Insightful and informative selections from both well known and more obscure original sources. Sections are brief and on point. Excellent bedside book. Outstanding as a stand alone work and valuable as a reference to more complete treatment of subjects you find particularly interesting. Balanced and objective. Best work on Mexico I've read in quite some time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Used as a texbook - surprisingly liked it!
*by D***Y on January 9, 2014*

I purchased Mexico Reader as a textbook for my Chicano History classes, and found myself so into it that I read it all ( vs. only several parts needed for class). Very interesting recollections and/or opinions of historians on the events of Mexican history. Just the story about Aztecs and their culture worth buying it. I had a certain opinion (like we all do), but after reading it I know it was baseless and I didn't know dang about it... It is way more complicated that most of the people seem to think. Some of the articles include actual historical pieces and can be a bit tedious for a modern reader to swallow, but majority of the content is very well-thought-of and composed of interesting and captivating features. If you interested in Chicano studies, I would highly recommend this book - it talks about a lot of nuances (like soldaderas for example) that are usually overlooked in regular books on the subject. It has some sort of spirit to it that let you not just read it as a book, but actually makes you understand what people felt as they were going through events of Mexican history.
