"In this first book to view modem Mexico in the era of NAFTA and globalization, In the Shadow of the Giant offers insight into the land on our southern border. Revealing a vastly different physical and cultural landscape from his days as a young journalist living in Mexico in the mid-1980s, Joseph Contreras tracks the relentless and ongoing Americanization of his ancestral home. In addition to embracing our virtues and vices, Contreras argues that our southern neighbor has become a de facto economic colony of the United States."--BOOK JACKET.
