Synopsis

A land where many Indian civilizations rose and fell long before the Spanish arrived in the 16th century, Mexico was transformed under Spanish rule into a colony with a government that mixed European ideas and local customs. As technology becomes more widespread, Mexico prepares to enter the global economy. Tracing the development of Mexico from long-vanished pre-Columbian cultures to the bustling Mexico City of today, this colorful volume informs readers with a detailed text and eye-catching photographs of original sources that have had enduring influences on Mexican life and culture.
