A New Time for MexicoA New Time for Mexico

Fuentes, Mexico's leading novelist, considers the origins and nature of the events that have transformed Mexico's politics and society in recent years. From the rebellion in Chiapas to the break between Presidents Salinas and Zedillo, and beyond, he examines the struggle between authoritarian and democratic politics, and between tradition and modernity, and calls for definitive steps toward a full democracy.
