(Part 2) Best mexico history books according to redditors

I know people are already trying to correct you; but, Cortes didn't even win the first time he fought the Aztecs, he lost almost half his men and a few thousand native allies. There's a whole history behind it, lasting almost a whole year. You can read more about it in the letters he wrote to king phillip. One of his commanders also wrote about it.

Historically, Mexicans have been in Arizona forever and have always been an integral part of the state's economy. I recommend that you check out "Line in the Sand" by Rachel St. John.

It's a brief histoory of the US Mexico border between (mostly) El Paso and San Diego that was drawn after the Mexican American War.

Man-God by Alfredo Lopez Austin is (along with basically his entire bibliography) absolutely essential in getting a good grasp of the mesoamerican side of it, not only the religion but the culture that created, a culture that was effectively alien to western sensibilities.

Yes, I just finished reading this one: Diaz y Madero, I think it gives a very well view on how complex mex-usa relations have been since Juarez. And I read this one a while ago La Guerra Secreta

You could see in those books and in every other history book that touches the subject of Mex-Usa relations, that the US has always been involved in Mexican politics, whether is by force or by helping internal factions gain power in Mexico, this is nothing new and it has happened not only in this country but in several; and this involvement does not mean that Mexico has stopped being an autonomous government. This statement is false and is a gross exaggeration.

Maybe, a mind health professional could help you out with your need to exaggerate while talking bad about your country of origin.

Yeah. It didn't just physically exist and it wasn't the "American" west at the time. There were thriving communities of Spanish cowboys and missionaries and ranchers there as well. Though, admittedly not portrayed by Hollywood.

Read https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0082XLYX4 and learn some history.

Well, the people also wanted marijuana illegal, too. I'm actually reading a book about early marijuana prohibition right now (in the 30's and in Mexico, but Mexico's drug laws affect the U.S's), and the author shows how prevalent the reefer madness-esque myths were common throughout the world. He mentions that everyone - the upper and lower classes - were afraid of marijuana's effects. People used to be legitimately afraid of pot. I know big business and the media had a hand in pushing those myths, but some of them go back as far as the middle-ages.

Don't get me wrong. I feel your cynicism, but there are counter-points, too. I'm going to hold out hope that the tide's changing.

The book is Home Grown: Marijuana and the Origins of Mexico's War on Drugs by Issac Campos if you're interested.
