The ocean, the beaches, the ancient ruins, the tequila: under the patina of mass tourism there's a complex, neurotic country trying to carve out a place for itself in the shadow of its hulky neighbor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world, 89 indigenous languages are also spoken: a contradictory legacy reflected in its politics, society, religion, food, and culture. With a fifth of the population identifying as indigenous, rediscovering and revaluing the country's pre-Columbian roots informs much of public debate. The controversial Mayan train project connecting Mexico's Caribbean resorts with the South's archaeological sites, crossing (and endangering) communities and forests, is a perfect example of the opposition between the two souls of the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe attempts to resolve this contradiction, or better still to learn to live with it, will define the Mexico of the future.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Passenger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781787704695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.29h x 6.14w x 0.71d","brand":"Aa VV","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43067740553397,"sku":"9781787704695","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_26f0ad19-d6a9-407a-99e3-e8e6cd36e26c.jpg?v=1690864435","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-passenger-mexico-9781787704695","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
