Book Description: Thousands of years ago, the Olmec civilization flourished in the land that is now Mexico. These ancient people built cultural centers and left their artwork as reminders to today's world. They were followed by other great cultures, but when the Spanish came to the New World, they nearly destroyed Mexico's native people. The centuries that followed were full of turmoil. Even after Mexico achieved its independence from Spain, its history continued to be troubled with injustice and rebellion. Today, Mexico is a mixture of many things. Ancient traditions contrast with modern technology; Indian lifestyles and languages mingle with Spanish customs; Catholicism blends with native religions; and, poverty and wealth live side by side. Even the people are a combination of European and Indian descent. Their frustration with current problems fuels their hope and determination for the future. 'Mexico: Facts and Figures' will tell you about Mexico's past and its present. It will also take you on a journey through Mexico's 31 states and its Federal District. You'll discover a fascinating land filled with diverse cultures, ancient archeology, and beautiful geographic wonders.
