The Mexican Shock: Its Meaning for the United States Jorge G. Castaneda 1st edition

One of the most trenchant critics of the Latin American scene and American foreign policy, Jorge G. Castaeda has been hailed as the "leading Mexican voice in the U. S. media" (In These Times). In The Mexican Shock Castaeda examines the major issues in Mexico in recent years and their effects on the United States: emigration, the relationship between politics and economics, the assassination of presidential candidate Luis Colosio, and the rapid devaluation of the peso.
