Gringolandia: Mexican Identity and Perceptions of the United States (Latin American Silhouettes)
Throughout this wonderful book on the way Mexicans perceive the U.S., Morris skillfully shows that while the discourse of Mexican politicians deals with the political present, privileging the issues of economic prosperity and development, Mexican school texts portray the U.S. as historically anti-Mexican and dangerous....Highly recommended. (CHOICE)Morris is to be congratulated for the breadth of his research, including engagement with a wide and disparate secondary literature, and for the clarity of his prose. (The Americas: A Quarterly Review of Latin American History, January 2008)A beautifully crafted exploration that will appeal to a wide range of readers. Anyone interested in Mexico will benefit from its thoughtful insights. (Roderic Ai Camp, Claremont McKenna College)
