WHY MEXICANS THINK & BEHAVE THE WAY THEY DO! - The Cultural Factors that Created the Character & Personality of the Mexican People!

“Mexico’s traditional values and morals were forged in a caldron of aggressive religious intolerance, cor-ruption, racism, male chauvinism, and an elitist poli-tical system that connived with the Church to keep ordinary people ignorant and powerless, and deny them the most basic human rights.

“But the reality of Mexico has always been obscured behind a variety of masks—of piety, pride, courage, gaiety, indifference and stoicism.

“Despite the fact that the traditional character of Mexicans is a mixture of medieval Catholicism, tra-ditional Indian and Spanish authoritarianism, ma-choism and personalism, it has another face—an inherently joyful nature manifested in music, singing, dancing and art.”

This book identifies and describes the primary character and behavorial traits of Mexicans that are revealed by key words in their language.
