At the end of a hard century, writes Michael Parfit in the August 1996
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC,
“Mexico is struggling. This country, 756,000 square
miles of deserts, forests, highlands, volcanoes, endless seashores, and
trembling earth, populated by 95 million people, is classified in the
jargon of world economics as a ‘developing nation.’ ” In
other ways Mexico
is poised to emerge as a world leader. To capture the essence of today’s
enigmatic Mexico, the magazine sent four photographers and a team of writers
across the border.
