Mexico is the largest Spanish-speaking country in the world. It also has the largest number of American Indian language speakers on the continent, the majority speaking Nahuatl, Mayan, Mixtec and Zapotec. Human presence in Mexico has been shown to date back 40,000 years based upon ancient human footprints discovered in the Valley of Mexico.
The nation's name is derived from the Mexican civilization known in popular culture as the Aztecs.
Mexico's political, social, and economic landscapes have shifted in very striking ways in recent years, and the country now moves cautiously into the twenty-first century. The Course of Mexican History has been updated and revised to address these remarkable transformations. This eighth edition offers a completely up-to-date, lively, and engaging survey from pre-Columbian times to the present.
