Inside Mexico: A Review

Inside Mexico: Living, Traveling, and Doing Business in a Changing Society, by Paula Heusinkveld, is quite different from the other books reviewed here. It's not a how-to guide as such, but there'd be less misunderstanding if more of us read this gem.

I've read and reread this short book, and it has helped me tremendously to understand Mexico and Mexicans. Their culture is different enough from ours that their habits don't always make sense to us.

For example, in the chapter on manners, the author points out that Mexican people often thank shop clerks when leaving a store. I have adopted this habit and I've discovered that it can lead to enjoyable short conversations. Published in 1994, Inside Mexico is still very timely, as it deals with the kinds of things that don't change quickly.Click on the image to go to Amazon.
