Mexico: A 500-Year History
Paul Gillingham presents five centuries of Mexican history as a story of extraordinary regional, ethnic, political, and cultural diversity. Beginning with conquest and colonial rule, he follows independence, reform, foreign intervention, revolution, one-party government, democratization, violence, and economic transformation. Mexico appears not as a nation defined only by crisis or its relationship with the United States, but as a global actor with enduring institutions and creative political traditions. Gillingham balances conflict with resilience, showing how communities repeatedly negotiated power and remade national life across dramatic changes.
