Mexico is much more than a border, a beach, or a headline. It is one of the oldest continuous civilizations in the Americas, and its history still shapes the food, the festivals, the cities, and the news.
The History of Mexico: A Traveler's Companion tells that story in one continuous, readable narrative for travelers, students, and curious readers in the United States and Canada. It begins with the first maize farmers and the Maya and Mexica civilizations, then follows the Spanish conquest and colonial rule, independence, the war with the United States, the Reform and the Porfiriato, the Mexican Revolution, the PRI era, and democratic Mexico through 2026.
Later chapters explore how Mexico and the United States are bound by trade, labor, security, and culture; how regions from Oaxaca and the Yucatan to the industrial north differ; and how food, festivals, and music carry history from one generation to the next.
Inside you will find:
21 original maps
Quick answers for travelers
A who's who, pronunciation guide, and glossary
A chronology, notes on sources, further reading, and an index
Where historians disagree, the book says so and presents contested questions from more than one perspective.
Travel is richer when you understand the story behind what you see.
