"Amexica" provides the first full account of the terror unfolding along the US-Mexico border. An area of land more than 2,000 miles long and 100 miles wide - effectively a country in its own right - has become a battleground. Drugs, guns and killings are the currency of everyday existence as an ever-escalating narco-war explodes out of control. In the last three years more than 23,000 people have been murdered in Amexica as criminal drug cartels fight each other - with ever more inventive twists of violence - for pre-eminence in the 'plazas' - the rivers of narcotics flowing into America, and for consumption in Mexico itself. The war is a grotesque pastiche of the globalised economy: the cartels are inextricably bound up with sweatshop factories, with the smuggling of guns south from the US, with the entertainment industry and with the mass abduction and exploitation of women. This is both the busiest and most deadly frontier in the world, studded with guard-posts, infra-red searchlights and heavily armed patrols. It's a war that's scarcely reported - a war that's being fought, with thousands dying and millions of lives blighted, so that Europe and America can get high. Journalist Ed Vulliamy has long had a love-hate relationship with Amexica - the place and its people. For four months he went on a road trip zigzagging along the entire border. This is the story of that journey and of the visits that preceded it; of the causes and consequences of the war and its impact on the everyday life which somehow goes on around it.

在世界文化与本土文明之间，在现代技术和精神文明之间，在信心缺失与妄自尊大之间，如何“认识你自己”？这不仅是墨西哥的问题，也是每个第三世界国家人民都面临与反思的问题。萨穆埃尔·拉莫斯深入解析塑造民族心理的历史力量，指出殖民制度造成了墨西哥人心里深处的自卑感，让他们不敢正视过去，企图将历史一笔勾销，从零开始。他认为墨西哥革命在反对独裁者迪亚斯政权媚外倾向的同时，又陷入了封闭性的民族沙文主义。然而，真正的自救之路应该是直面自我，辩证地看待历史遗产和民族性的优劣。他指出，墨西哥人应该摆脱世界主义眼光的风情画式的“墨西哥主义”，正确认识自我，认识他人。本书堪称拉丁美洲哲学走向成熟、引起世界注意的突破作品，是用历史主义和现代心理学的理性眼光分析具体民族文化的尝试。

The Texas State Historical Association is pleased to offer a newedition of Stephen F. Austin: Empresario of Texas, Gregg Cantrell's path-breaking biography of the founder of Anglo Texas.Cantrell's portrait goes beyond the traditional interpretation ofAustin as the man who spearheaded American Manifest Destiny.Cantrell portrays Austin as a borderlands figure who couldnavigate the complex cultural landscape of 1820s Texas, then aportion of Mexico.His command of the Spanish language, respect for the Mexicanpeople, and ability to navigate the shoals of Mexican politicsmade him the perfect advocate for his colonists and often for all ofTexas. Yet when conflicts between Anglo colonists and Mexicanauthorities turned violent, Austin's accommodationist stancebecame outdated.Overshadowed by the military hero Sam Houston, he died at theage of forty-three, just six months after Texas independence.Decades after his death, Austin's reputation was resurrected andhe became known as the "Father of Texas." More than just anicon, Stephen F. Austin emerges from these pages as a shrewd,complicated, and sometimes conflicted figure.
