Campbell does a great job offering concise information about Mexican Culture as it is related to the USA and Latin America. He offers insight for the Borderlands and the interior. This book is like the "Cliffs Notes" of Mexico. For a fast and easy-to-read book filled with information about issues such as: Battles, Holidays, Economy, History of the Country, Impact of NAFTA, Attitudes of Mexican People, etc.

This is a great reference tool that you will want on your bookshelf for a long time. It offers the nuts and bolts of the issues and you do not have to read all night to find the scoop on the situation. For further reading, the appendix and bibliography is great.

This newly revised edition of Richard C. Campbell's Two Eagles In The Sun: A Guide To U.S. Hispanic Culture is an in-depth look at Hispanic history, life, language, and traditions in America today. Written in a question-and-answer format, this wide-ranging informational guide addresses everything from "Why is Spanish called 'the Language of the Angels'?"; to "Why is the Virgin of Guadalupe Important to Hispanics?"; to "What are the usual stereotypes about Hispanics?" A first rate information source accessible to readers of all backgrounds, Two Eagles In The Sun is a highly recommended addition to community library collections and Hispanic American Studies reading lists.
