Mexican anarchist Ricardo Flores Magon lived with facts and so he died, defending the most illustrious concepts of anarchy suffering hunger, and poverty, finally executed in a Missouri jail. I really suggest this book, 'cause inside it theere are many teachings of how human beings can depend on imagination, not in plitical parties.

Este libro es una sátira acerca de la burguesía mexicana, sus costumbres, sus complejos y la manera en la que se enfrentaron a la terrible crisis financiera mexicana en los tiempos de De la Madrid. Guadalupe Loaeza se burla de la manera en la que sufrieron todos aquellos burgueses al ver que el estilo de vida al que habían estado acostumbrados desde muchas generaciones antes que ellos se derrumbaba frente a sus ojos. Describe la manera en la que esa burguesía se fue forjando y muestra un poco de su evolución.

Rafael Chacon (1833-1925), personally witnessed the end of the Mexican Period and was an active participant in commercial, military, and political events during the early decades of the American era from territorial status to statehood. Legacy Of Honor: The Life Of Rafael Chacon, A Nineteenth Century New Mexican is unique in its detail, anecdotal style, human interest and presents one of the few existent Hispanic points of view on the era and events surrounding the creation of New Mexico. Chacon wrote his memoirs in his seventies to record for his family the drama, adventure, and sorrow he had experienced, including his later service in the American Civil War. He fought at the Battle of Valverde, fought Indians under Kit Carson, escorted the first officials to the new established territory of Arizona, and was one of the few Hispanics to attain the rank of Major, commanding Fort Stanton at the end of the war. Chacon went on to serve several terms in the territorial legislature before homesteading near Trinidad, Colorado. Legacy Of Honor is a superbly informative, biographical contribution to academic American history collections, and fascinating reading for American history buffs.

This is a fascinating book which tells you in the most pleasurable way the history of Mexico and how one enduring symbol, the plumed serpent, connects ancient Mexico with modern Mexico. Great illustrations matched by a restrained text makes this a delight to read.

This is a gem of a book. I must admit it's my first travel book I've ever bought. Normaly on my travels along with my duffel bag I only bring a map. I can't say how much invaluable info is crammed into this book. The authors give every kind of advise that a traveller should know. Like on a bus trip one should take a bottle of water & a roll of toilet paper. I bring a 6 pack and a pint instead. And when the need comes I just roll down the window & let it out. Regarding cheap housing I disagree with the authors. The best & cheapest rooms are those in the red light zone. This book gives a good flavor of Mexico. It lets the reader be a real mucho maucho Mexicano before ever stepping across the border. As for the best spot to head for again I must disagree with the authors. Skip Mexico City and head straight for Tampico. This town has everything: good food, cheap rooms, fast women and lots and lots of bars. Mention my name at the Culo Cantina & they'll fix you right.

The Lexicón del Noreste continues the lifelong project of Elizondo, of collecting the oral/poetic/visual tradition of the north of Mexico, the Noreste. It includes his two novels 70 veces 7 and Narcedalia Piedrotas, two books of photographs Polvo de aquellos lodos and Presa de una lente objetiva and now a dictionary, the lexicon. The dictionary took over thirty years to compile and features words from Chihuahua, Tamaulipas and Nuevo León.

This charming gift item includes interesting historical, geographic, cultural and culinary information as well as over 80 recipes for tasty items such as Guacamole, Chili Bean Dip, Tamale Pie, Flan, and Margarita Pie. The book is illustrated with petroglyphs, and gives locations and phone numbers of New Mexico museums, pueblos and reservations-vital data for tourists. A timeline profiles the area's history, and a short essay clarifies the controversial spelling and pronunciation of "chile," then gives tips for "Chile Antidotes"! The reader will be certifiably enthusiastic about N.M.

This makes for a wonderful gift!

This is a marvelous study not only of a poignant African-Brazilian woman persecuted for daring to state her beliefs, but one that reveals the different ways that American (Levine) and Brazilian (Meihy) scholars perceive the problems of race in society. A must read for anyone interested in Latin American society or the history of women or of blacks in the hemisphere.
