Gods, Gachupines and Gringos: A People's History of Mexico by Richard Grabman

From the Publisher

The first complete history of Mexico for general readers in many years, and maybe the very first intentionally non-academic history of Mexico, Gods, Gachupines and Gringos is a solidly researched introduction to a surprisingly multi-cultural, multi-faceted nation.

Gods, Gachupines and Gringos puts flesh and bones on the dusty figures of the past while shedding light on the common humanity of the uncommon humans who created this unique country and its unique culture.

Always conscious of the outsiders, the gods, gachupines and gringos of the title, Grabman accepts Mexico as it is, not as we might like it to be nor how it possibly should be, often with surprising wit and humor.

Destined to be a classic in its field, Gods, Gachupines and Gringos has already been praised by scholars and general readers alike.
