Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
If history is written by the victors, then as the rulers of a nation change, so too does the history. Mexico has had many distinct periods of history, demonstrating clearly that the tale changes with the writer. In National Narratives in Mexico, Enrique Florescano examines each historical vision of Mexico as it was interpreted in its own time, revealing the influences of national or ethnic identity, culture, and evolving concepts of history and national memory.
Enhanced by more than two hundred drawings, photographs, and maps, National Narratives in Mexico offers a new vision of Mexico's turbulent history.

Rated by buyers -
Any college-level holding strong in Mexican history and culture holdings will find National Narratives in Mexico: A History an essential acquisition: it examines different historical visions of Mexico as it was interpreted in its own time, surveying issues of ethnic identity, culture, and different concepts of history reporting and representation over the centuries. Modern Mexico can best be understood by realizing the differences in these approaches, and National Narratives in Mexico assures Mexico's volatile history is understood through the source documents making assumptions, assertions, and facts. Add grey and white drawings by Raul Velasquez and you have an excellent, scholarly survey which should be a foundation pick for any serious collection.
