The Annexation of Mexico: From the Aztecs to the I.M.F. by John Ross

$24.95

"With different flags they came to conquer us…they came and they went and we kept on being Mexicans because the only flag we want to walk around under has an eagle devouring a snake on it…" —Subcomandante Marcos, March 1995

John Ross is "the new John Reed covering a new Mexican revolution." —Blanche Petrich of La Jornada

"Vivid and powerful." —Howard Zinn

From a 1995 winner of the American Book Award (Rebellion From the Roots: Indian Uprising in Chiapas) comes a rip-roaring review of Mexico's 500-year resistance to annexation.

The Annexation of Mexico also picks its way through contemporary mine fields: the Reagan administration's little-known offer to buy Baja California for $105 billion; the peso collapse and Clinton's bail-out of U.S. investors; and the pungent corruption in Mexico's anti-drug hierarchy.

Common Courage Press, John Ross, 1997, ISBN 1-56751-130-9, soft cover, 346 p.p., Bibliography, Index, End Notes.
