GODS, GACHUPINES AND GRINGOS

                                 A People's History of Mexico

 
The first general history of Mexico to be published in English in nearly thirty years, Richard Grabman's Gods, Gachupines and Gringos is one of the only Mexican histories ever written with the general reader in mind.
 
 
While solidly researched, Gods, Gachupines and Gringos is written in a radically non-academic style,  putting flesh and bones on the dusty figures of the past and shedding light on the common humanity of the Mexican people throughout history, often with suprising wit and humor.
 
 
Destined to be a classic in its field, Gods, Gachupines and Gringos has already been praised by scholars and general readers alike.
 
 

Editorial Mazatlán is printing Gods, Gachupines and Gringos in a typeface specifically chosen to enhance its readability.  With cover and page art by cutting-edge designer and artist, Joaquín Ramón Herrera (XOLOGRAFIK Art and Illustration), maps by Dennis Slack and book design by Michele DeFilippo (1106 Design), and an index designed for easy use,  Gods, Gachupines and Gringos is specifically designed for the general reader and is a must for every mexiphile’s library.
