The Reinvention of Mexico explores the ideological conflict between neoliberalism and nationalism that has been at the core of economic and political development in Latin America since the mid-1980s. Grappling with a wide variety of issues generated by the dismantling of the statist economy and subsequent climate of market reforms, this timely volume shows that Mexico's transformation in the 1990s has broader implications for the study of nationalism. A welcome contribution to the literature on Latin American history, The Reinvention of Mexico offers important insight into national responses to globalization and the most appropriate vision of political economy in Latin America.
The Reinvention of Mexico: National Ideology in a Neoliberal Era Reviews
-
This is a very helpful, thoughtful book. By charting the clash between neoliberal and nationalist ideology, and placing it in an historical context, it provides important material for anyone interested in making sense of Mexico's contemporary political landscape. Although it focuses on debates among elites—politicians and theorists—I see this as more of a limitation than a failing.
