Title: El Gran Pueblo
First published: 1994
Description: Based on the belief that people - not institutions - make history, this narrative of the history of Mexican people examines the challenges they have faced since independence, telling of their resiliency and creative character during the years of political and economic changes.

El Gran Pueblo examines national boundaries not as barriers but as the setting of complex interactions, resulting in the convergence of cultures; and, in doing so, reveals the Mexican experience not only in Mexico but in what is today the southwestern United States.
