Gesellschaft - Geschichte - Kultur. Das politische Reisebuch
Das Politische Reisebuch John Ross, einer der besten Kenner Mexikos, hat dieses Reisebuch für all jene geschrieben, die sich nicht mit den dürftigen Hintergrundinformationen eines Lonely Planet zufrieden geben wollen. Obwohl Ross ein Autor mit langjähriger linker Tradition ist, schrieb er diesen kulturellen, historischen und politischen Führer gezielt aus einer ausgewogenen Perspektive, um einen möglichst breiten Leserkreis anzusprechen. Faktenreichtum gepaart mit in Nebensätze verpackten Anekdoten verleihen dem Buch einen hohen informativen Wert und machen das Lesen gleichzeitig zu einem Genuss. Die Geschichte vor der spanischen Conquista, das Geschehen während des Unabhängigkeitskrieges und die Wirren der mexikanischen Revolution werden ebenso behandelt wie die moderne Zeitgeschichte. Politische Parteien, der Zapatistische Aufstand, die notorische Korruption in den gesellschaftlichen Strukturen, Kunst und Literatur – jeder Facette des mexikanischen Alltagslebens ist ein kurzes Kapitel gewidmet. Und zum Schluss gibt es – auf drei Seiten – tatsächlich noch ein paar 'echte' Touri-Tipps.
