Bad Mexicans: Race, Empire, and Revolution in the Borderlands by Kelly Lytle Hernández

informative inspiring medium-paced

5.0

So SO good! Even though the events in this book took place over 100 years ago we are dealing with similar situations in current events. 
This book should be made into a movie or a History Channel special event. The magonistas changed the course of Mexico, the American Southwest, and Mexican- American relations. It’s a fascinating story, told incredibly well.
