Description: "Ranging from the precontact colonial eras of each country to the present-day administrations of Vicente Fox and George W. Bush, W. Dirk Raat's coverage focuses on the economic, cultural, and political trends and events that have shaped the ways that Americans and Mexicans have regarded each other over the centuries. Raat pays special attention to the factors that have subordinated Mexico not only to "the Colossus of the North" but to many other players in the global market. He also offers a look at the cultural dynamics of Gran Chichimeca of Mexamerica, the borderlands where the two countries share a common history."--BOOK JACKET.
