Actualmente el rostro enigmático de México presenta hondas cicatrices y un gesto que va del escepticismo a la ironía, del resentimiento al desprecio. ¿Cómo pueden descifrarse las inquietudes de ese semblante? ¿Qué estigmas conservan los mexicanos, a qué mitos se aferran? ¿Qué fracturas hay tras la guerra del narcotráfico, la vorágine migratoria y el descrédito de sus gobiernos, de sus aparatos de justicia y sus instituciones? Jorge G. Castañed...

Castro's Cuba is isolated, the guerrillas who once spread havoc through Uruguay and Argentina are dead, dispersed, or running for office as moderates. And in 1990, Nicaragua's Sandinistas were rejected at the polls by their own constituents. Are these symptoms of the fall of the Latin American left? Or are they merely temporary lulls in an ongoing revolution that may yet transform our hemisphere?This perceptive and richly eventful study by one...

Castaneda offers a remarkably candid account of Mexican presidential politics, "destined to become the most important political book of the decade" ("Foreign Policy"). In six penetrating essays combined with interviews with each of the living Mexican ex-presidents, the author provides a candid account of the country's political machinery.

Jorge Castaneda, recently named Mexico's foreign minister, has been both an insider and an outsider in Mexico's political system. In Perpetuating Power, he lays bare the often mystifying workings of power in Mexico, offering readers what the New York Times Book Review called "an unusually revealing explication of the inner workings of three decades of presidential succession".To outside observers, Mexico stood out for its odd mixture of democr...

In his extraordinarily timely new book, Castaneda focuses in on Mexico, a country whose fate is increasingly entwined with that of the United States. In Castaneda's view, Mexico is still a society about which too little is known and too much is proposed. Americans have been unsure how to interpret the enormous changes that are taking place in today's Mexico - and affecting today's United States - from the Chiapas rebellion of 1994 to the curre...

"(This book) may be relentlessly harsh, but ultimately it also relentlessly hopeful".--Los Angeles Times.
