Condition description: typical used book wear, pages are somewhat yellowed with age, slight creasing to the corners of the covers, otherwise a lightly used copy. Critical and influential set of essays by a Noble Prize winner on contemporary Mexico: 1) The Pachuco and Other Extremes 2) Mexican Masks 3) The Day of the Dead 4) The Sons of La Malinche 5) The Conquest and Colonialism 6) From Independence to the Revolution 7) The Mexican Intelligentsia 8) The Present Day 9) The Dialectic of Solitude From the back cover: One of the major poets of our time here probes and defines Mexican character and culture in a series of brilliant essays. Silence, irony, the formalization of social life - these are the masks that permit the Mexican to conceal his personality. Far more than an interpretation of his own country alone, this book is also a penetrating commentary on the plight of Latin America today as a whole, an enlightening view of the North American - 'who wanders in an abstract world of machines, fellow citizens, and moral precepts' - and a universally applicable evaluation of the situation of contemporary man. *
