Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mexico of the Mexicans The thunders of the titanic struggle which at present convulses Europe have drowned the echoes of strife which come from far-away Mexico, and in the eyes of many the warringfiof the factions in the American Republic will seem very like the battle of the mice and the frogs. Yet we who are sacrificing everything for an ideal should feel a lively sympathy with the Mexican people, for when all is said they, too, are fighting for idealistic reasons - for the possession and free exercise of that liberty towards which the spirit of man in all climes and ages has so painfully yet so persistently aspired.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beyond the Mexican Sierras These are Prescott's words of introduction to that fascinating classic, The Conquest of Mexico. In accurate as he may have been in his estimate Of the extent and magnificence Of the Aztec Empire, Pres cott made no exaggeration in his measure of the country itself. Indeed, I am tempted to enlarge his comparison, and assert that in all the two continents Of the Western Hemisphere there is no area Of equal extent that can approach Mexico in wealth of natural resources, variety Of climate, grandeur Of scenery, prehistoric ruins, and romantic history.

Download or read book The Mexican Nation written by Herbert Ingram Priestley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mexican Nation: A History The profound influence exercised on Mexican political and economic life by geographical conditions makes it essential to present as a first chapter of this book some description of the physical Republic as it exists today. The country possesses such diversified climates, such multifarious prod ucts, such wide variations in hydrographic and geological conditions, that her history has been uniquely influenced by them and cannot be well understood unless they are borne in mind. Much the same line of thought explains the need of the following chapter on the ancient Mexicans. Though the Spaniards abruptly obliterated the early culture, its surviving influence in thought and tradition still gives to Mexican society the rudiments of national sentiment and cannot be neglected although events of pre-cortesian his tory are now of scant significance. Hence the Aztecs and Mayas are presented as historical background rather than as history, to show the effect of their relatively high cultures as determinant of the character of the Spanish conquest and its tradition as a present influence rather than to digress among legendary or cultural details, however worthy of attention and however intriguing to the interest such primi tive factors may be. As yet they belong 111 the field of an thropology rather than in that of history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thirty Years With the Mexicans: In Peace and Revolution American readers all possible light upon the Mexic people and their problems. Of all literature, that is the most useful which is the result of sympathetic and close personal relations. The writer has had the privi lege of travelling a little in Mexico with Dr. Case, particularly in those regions ofgiihughua which were most recently his home, and can give personal testi mony to the intimate friendship existing between Dr. Case and the Mexican people, and to the heroism with which he went on about his accustomed life in Mexico during years when the northern states were overrun with disorganized bands of soldiers and outlaws and life there was full of danger. His book presents a series of views of Mexican life, the veracity of which is apparent to any one who has visited Mexico, and his conclusions with respect to the Mexican people and their future are the thoughts of a man of close powers of observation, sympathetic insight, and long experi ence in analyzing the characters of men of another race and heritage from ourselves.

Download or read book A Mexican Journey Classic Reprint written by E. H. Blichfeldt and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Mexican Journey Most of what appears in the following pages was first written for the Chautauquan magazine, though all has been carefully revised for its present use. If the fruits of laborious original research appear anywhere, it is the research of some one besides the author. His debt in this way is informally suggested by the text, except when it relates to things now become common property, and calling for no special acknowledgment. The opinions and sentiments expressed regarding our Mexican neighbors, on the contrary, may be taken as at first hand. Here also the writer would be presumptuous to set up any claims as a discoverer or to deny that he owes much to teachers and prompters. These opinions and sentiments, however, are such as without falsity he may call his own, and grow out of alert, sympathetic contact and correspondence with Mexicans for several years.

Download or read book Recollections of Mexico Classic Reprint written by Waddy Thompson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of Mexico It is equally true of nations as of individuals, that those who are not entirely assured Of a well-established and unquestioned position, are peculiarly sensitive to criticism, however kindly meant or respectfully expressed. Of no people in the world is this more true than of the Mexicans. They understand perfectly their true position in the estima tion of the world, notwithstanding their characteristic vaunting and gasconade. I think that it is generally true that men are most apt to boast of qualities which they are conscious of not possessing. The Mexican character has much that is good in it, but very much also that is bad. In bearing testimony to the former, I cannot be silent as to the latter - for indiscriminate praise is in its effects censure. My fault has been much more that of extenuation than setting down aught in malice - the latter cum, for I was treated with so much kindness by people of all classes, from the lepero in the streets up to the President, that it would be a source of deep pain to me to know that I had wantonly wounded the feelings of any one person in the broad circumference of the Republic. I assure them in all sincerity that I take a deep interest in their continued advances in the great career Of civil liberty, and 'their ultimate success in establishing Repub lican institutions on a permanent basis. God grant them success, both on their own account as well as for the great cause in which they have so long struggled, and under circumstances so discouraging.

Download or read book The Mexican Southland Classic Reprint written by Kamar Al-Shimas and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mexican Southland It is with a feeling of deep satisfaction that I lay down my pen upon having translated from the original Persian the last line of Kamar al-shimas' great work on southern Mex ico; for not only is the field one hitherto uncovered by any writer, but the work itself is of such exceptional value, the author's insight into local conditions is so profound, that in making the translation I can not but think I have conferred a special favor upon all lovers of Mexico. As to the form of translation, I have thought it in the best interests of all concerned that it be phrased in the most approved modern diction, in a few places only, where the ex pression was peculiarly happy, preserving the antique phrase ology of the venerable author. In these few instances I feel sure a discriminating public will approve my action. Not much need be said on behalf of the original work, which speaks for itself. The field, as has been noted, is in large measure a new one. While the American reading public is annually deluged with a fresh assortment of books upon Mexico, these books are invariably either limited to the north ern or central parts of the republic, or are superficial accounts of the whole country written by some globe trotter who has seen much and noted little. Only occasionally are as much as a dozen pages devoted to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. On the other hand the work of our master deals exclusively with southern Mexico. Nor is this its only merit; the author's style is in pleasing contrast with the flamboyant, would-be witty style which characterizes so many travel books of the day. His words are packed with information and no attempt is made to hide a paucity of matter beneath a superabundance of phrases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings From Modern Mexican Authors I hesitate at my final remark, because it will sound like a lame excuse for failure. It is not such. In these translations I have not aimed at a finished English form. I have, intentionally, made them extremely literal; I have sometimes selected an uncouth English word if it exactly translates the author, have frequently followed the Mexican form and order of words, and have even allowed my punctuation to be affected by the original. To the English critic the result will be unpleasing, but to those who wish to know Mexico and Mexican thought, it will be a gain. And it is for these that my little book is written.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mexican Problems The recent triumph of the Liberal or Popular Party in Mexico, after almost 4 years of struggle, presents a unique opportunity for the carrying of certain economic changes which will destroy forever the dangerous political power of those egotistical groups composed of big landowners, who up to now have maintained the working classes in a state of slavery and ignorance. It is only recently that the conspiracy of si lence in regard to the monopoly of the land, - the censurable policy of Porfirio Diaz and; of Huerta - was broken; and as there are still many educated people in the Mexican Federation who are not acquainted with the facts in the case, 1 shall dedicate this chapter to the his tory of the land.

The Mexicans were keenly alive to the fact that great differences of opinion between North and South existed here, and that Texas was a bone of contention among us. The following passage, for example, is an editorial utterance from the Cincinnati Gazette, which like many others was sent home by the Mexican minister both in English and in Spanish.

These subjects will be explained with reference to the vital interests the American people have in Mexico, not omitting to touch, suggestively, upon those intimate relations which, sooner or later, must be established between the two republics.

Download or read book Manana Forever written by Jorge G. Castañeda and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-04-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this shrewd and fascinating book, the renowned scholar and former foreign minister Jorge Castañeda sheds much light on the puzzling paradoxes of politics and culture of modern Mexico. Here’s a nation of 110 million that has an ambivalent and complicated relationship with the United States yet is host to more American expatriates than any country in the world. Its people tend to resent foreigners yet have made the nation a hugely popular tourist destination. Mexican individualism and individual ties to the land reflect a desire to conserve the past and slow the route to uncertain modernity. Castañeda examines the future possibilities for Mexico as it becomes more diverse in its regional identities, socially more homogenous, its character and culture the instruments of change rather than sources of stagnation, its political system more open and democratic. Mañana Forever? is a compelling portrait of a nation at a crossroads.
