This ideal introduction to U.S.-Mexican relations moves from conflicts all through the nineteenth century up to contemporary democratic elections in Mexico. Dom nguez and Fern ndez de Castro deftly trace the path of the relationship between these North American neighbors from bloody conflicts to (wary) partnership. By covering immigration, drug trafficking, NAFTA, democracy, environmental problems, and economic instability, the second edition of The United States and Mexico provides a thorough look back and an informed vision of the future.
