Review:
"Judith Adler Hellman evokes the sights, sounds and smells of her subject in Mexican Lives, a series of interviews conducted from 1990 to 1993 with people ranging from an exporting magnate to a mango vendor. She is especially acute in her descriptions of time-honored traditions of sociolismo, or influence peddling, in which whom you know is the key not just to getting a sewer built in your neighborhood but also to winning the contract to build it."
Martha Brandt, New York Times Book Review, 7/31/94

Mexican Lives (Paperback) (ISBN: 9781565841789) Hellman, Judith Adler Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: The New Press, United States, 1995. Paperback. Book Condition: New. New edition. 210 x 140 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. On the eve of the most significant trade agreement in recent Mexico-U.S. history, Judith Adler Hellman, a leading authority on Mexican politics, went into the homes and workplaces of a variety of Mexicans, from rich industrialists to poor street vendors. In bringing us their stories, Hellman puts a human face on the political and economic transformation currently under way in this rapidly changing country, and puts in context the rage and frustration that is feeding the current rebellion in the Mexican state of Chiapas. The Mexicans interviewed in this remarkable book share their views on an array of subjects, including pollution, the political elite, corruption, economics, and the migrant experience in the United States. Some seek collective solutions to the challenges they face; others, for a variety of interesting reasons, have no involvement with any group beyond their immediate or extended family, and rely for their well-being only on themselves and their kin. Here we meet a small subsistence farmer, eager to break into the more profitable gourmet fruit and vegetable export market; a very wealthy family pondering how best to position its company to profit from NAFTA; and former housewife turned union organizer, who must figure out what to do with her life savings: underwrite her son's migration to the United States, put a down payment on a new house with running water, or buy an industrial sewing machine with which to start her own business. These personal portraits, combined with Hellman's concise and engaging presentation of recent Mexican economic and political history, make this essential reading for those concerned about Mexico and the growing global economy.
