Description
Why are Mexicans so successful in individual sports, but deficient in team play? Why do Mexicans dislike living in skyscrapers? Why do Mexicans love to see themselves as victims, but also love victims? And why, though the Mexican people traditionally avoid conflict, is there so much violence in a country where many leaders have died by assassination? Castañeda examines the future possibilities for Mexico as it becomes more diverse in its regional identities, socially more homogeneous, its character and culture the instruments of change rather than sources of stagnation, its political system more open and democratic. Mañana Forever? is a compelling portrait of a nation at a crossroads.
Description
"José Castañeda nos ofrece aquí el análisis más profundo que se ha hecho en los últimos años sobre el carácter de México y nos advierte sobre las idiosincracias de los mexicanos: la indiferencia a la competencia; el por qué se resisten a las acciones colectivas y a la participación comprometida en luchas políticas; y de qué manera el descuido de la industria turística afecta su economía. Por las deducciones implacables sobre la realidad moderna mexicana, afiladas por la ironía en la crítica y el reconocimiento de sus zonas más oscuras y dolorosas, ésta es, sin duda, la obra imprecindible para entender el México contemporáneo." --From publisher's description.
