This is a full examination of Mexico, exploring all aspects of this unique and important country. It looks at Mexican history, and the diversity of its racial and cultural make-up. The author also analyzes the political and economic situation, including the population explosion and the oil boom. Overall, it presents a picture of a country of tantalizing paradoxes, whose prosperity and stability are threatened by the gathering pressure of her domestic conditions. Alan Riding has been a Latin American correspondent for "The Economist" and "The Financial Times", and for six years was Bureau Chief of "The New York Times" in Mexico.
