Mexican Journal
The Conquerors Conquered
More than a journal, more than a superbly illustrated travel book, more than a person-to-person report on Mexico's arts and artists, Mexican Journal is a very intimate account of a six month's voyage of discovery through the length and depth of the most paradoxical and richly endowed country in the Western Hemisphere.
Rodman reports on the great Mayan discoveries in Yaxchilan and Bonampak in the Chiapas jungle, he follows the march of Cortes from Cempoala to Tenochtitlan, and he never loses sight of two important questions :
# What is it like to be an American in Mexico?
# Why do so many Mexicans distrust and resent the U.S. while they tolerate the Communists?
Answers are supplied by public figures, illiterate indians, intellectuals and bullfighters
