Description

It is hard to separate modern Mexico from its famous but conflicting stereotypes: massive wealth and crushing poverty, international leadership set against institutional weakness, an openness to the world together with proud localism. At the same time, however, the deeper history of this society makes it harder to separate out these extremes. This class presents modern Mexico beyond these stereotypes, seeking to understand the deeper processes that cause such apparent contradictions.
