This book is about and written by American and Canadians living in Mexico.
Several years ago I posted a blurb to several Yahoo Groups representing several cities in Mexico. In the post I used the term expatriate in reference to Americans living in Mexico. One gentleman took offense. He replied to the post that he was not an expatriot just because he lived in Mexico. He went on to state that he loved his country and that he was still a Patriot. He failed to notice the difference in the spelling of the two words.
The word “Expatriate” is defined in a number of dictionaries and other sources as Wikipedia defines it, “In its broadest sense, an expatriate is any person living in a different country from where he or she is a citizen.”
For the purpose of this Anthology, we will use the Wikipedia definition.
This book is a compilation of writings by Americans and Canadians living in Mexico either full time or part time.
As the author of several chapters and the compiler of this anthology I feel that the reader will gain valuable insight into the expatriate experience. Beyond the reading, the readers of these contributions have the opportunity to go directly to the websites of the various contributors to communicate directly with them.
