In this book, Castaneda examines the key issues in Mexican life: the impact of emigration, the relationship between politics and economics and the cultural changes taking place as Mexico moves closer to the United States. He also examines the United State's changing perceptions of Mexico and the basic historic and cultural outlooks that still divide the two countries. Finally, the campaign behind Proposition 187 in California is examined, with a discussion of the mix of ignorance and bias that has formed so much of America's reaction to Mexico.
