«The Mexicans: A Personal Portrait of a People» is Patrick Oster's historical essay, published by HarpPeren in paperback (336 pages, in English).
A choral portrait of Mexico in crisis told through people from various walks of life: a policeman who denounces torture as common practice, an editor who suffers kidnappings and threats, a rural doctor, and a gay teacher. It describes poverty, class tensions, machismo, and corruption, from the capital to indigenous villages.
First edition from Perennial Library (1990). Oster was head of Knight-Ridder's Mexico bureau and was honored by the Overseas Press Club and the Inter-American Press Association.
For the general reader interested in Mexico, its history, and its social reality, with a journalistic approach close to personal testimonies.
