The economy, society, culture, and politics of the two nations have become inextricably linked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the United States continues to assert its considerable geopolitical power, this book reminds us that this trend runs deep in the country's history, starting with its closest neighbors. Buchenau explores US territorial expansion, the Mexican Revolution of 1910, disputes over agricultural and mineral wealth, and the migration of Mexican laborers. Despite that massive power imbalance, Buchenau shows us that Mexico's influence on the United States is just as significant as the inverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJürgen Buchenau\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of history and Latin American studies at UNC Charlotte.
