Generalists trying to understand Mexico will benefit from her profound understanding and insights, while experts will reexamine the clichés and their own biases."" Roberta S. Jacobson, former US ambassador to Mexico ""The Making of Mexico is an ambitious and comprehensive account of the construction of the Mexican state. For readers seeking to understand not only what the Mexican state is today, but how it was made and remade over time, this book is an essential reference. No other single volume offers such a sustained, panoramic review of the Mexican state across its long and contested history."" Rafael Fernandez de Castro, University of California San Diego
