The tenth anniversary edition of The Oxford History of Mexico tells the fascinating story of Mexico as it has evolved from the reign of the Aztecs through the twenty-first century. Available for the first time in paperback, this magnificent volume covers the nation's history in a series of essays written by an international team of scholars. Essays have been revised to reflect events of the past decade, recent discoveries, and the newest advances in scholarship, while a new introduction discusses such issues as immigration from Mexico to the United States and the democratization implied by the defeat of the official party in the 2000 and 2006 presidential elections. Newly released to commemorate the bicentennial of the Mexican War of Independence and the centennial of the Mexican Revolution, this updated and redesigned volume offers an affordable, accessible, and compelling account of Mexico through the ages.

Reviews for The Oxford History of Mexico
"Distinguished historians Meyer and Beezley have brought together an outstanding collection of essays on Mexican history, culture, and society....The individual contributions are crisp and stimulating; each stands well on its own and can be assigned and read singly with profit. Editors and authors have so nicely meshed these contributions one to the next that the book can be assigned or read almost as a single, comprehensive overview of centuries of Mexico history.
