    Mexico is a land torn between Latin America and the US, between its Indian and revolutionary past and the modern trappings of skyscrapers, cell phones, and factories. It is also one of the biggest tourist destinations in Latin America for the UK market. Mexico is now the key country in Latin American debates about trade integration, neo-liberalism, and the fight of indigenous people for autonomy and self-governance, best characterised by the Zapatista movement. A new updated edition of Mexico in Focus gives the insider's view - the 'story the guidebooks don't tell you' - in accessible, lively and accurate prose. It offers a fresh and contemporary perspective on the Zapatista rebellion and indigenous issues, as well as the July 2000 election of Vicente Fox, the "cowboy president" whose controversial policy suggestions have included free movement of labour and unrestricted immigration within NAFTA and the legalisation of drugs. This completely rewritten and updated text also touches on the economy, the new relationship under George W Bush, literature and culture, as well as a completely new section on Mexican popular culture forms and music, including telenovelas, comic books, and "lucha libre", or popular wrestling. Mexico in Focus is published complete with new illustrations, updated maps and facts and figures, and an extended Where to Go and What to See Section - expert tips on how to get the most out of your visit.

    China in 42 years, 1978-2020, far less than a single lifetime, has gone from one of the world's poorest countries, with more than 850 million people living in internationally defined poverty, to the brink of becoming a high-income economy by World Bank standards. It has achieved total elimination of absolute poverty and the world's fastest rise in average living standards - with life expectancy figures showing that its social conditions are even better than this economic result. This achievement, by a wide margin, has improved the position of by far the largest proportion of humanity of any event in human history. Learning from China's development is of urgent practical interest for all in developing countries. It shows in practice that it is possible to take developing economies and transform them into developed countries by socialist methods in a way far more successful than adopting the path of capitalism - with all the huge gains this means for the life of the people in these countries. Furthermore, China's success has created a huge potential partner for the Global South. In particular, in the coming period 'South-South relations' between China and developing countries will be the progressive pole of world development. The US will continue to pursue an aggressive policy against China with some imperialist countries likely to fall in behind this. China-Global South relations will therefore strengthen with mutual benefit.
