Video de la presentación del libro de Jorge G. Castañeda, "Mañana Forever? Mexico and the Mexicans" organizada por Zócalo Public Square en Los Ángeles, el 3 de junio de 2011.Mexico is a study in paradoxes: Its people are often defensive toward foreigners while the country draws much of its revenue from tourism. Its government has a reputation for being conflict-adverse, yet drug violence is spiraling out of control. The country has a conflicted relationship with the United States even as it becomes more integrated into the North American economy. Jorge Castañeda, a Mexico City native who was educated in Princeton and Paris and served as Mexico’s foreign minister from 2000 to 2003, has a unique vantage point from which to examine where his native country is headed. In his new book, Mañana Forever? Mexico and the Mexicans, he paints a picture of a nation at a crossroads. Castañeda visits Zócalo to discuss possible futures for Mexico.
Can Mexico Get its Act Together?
