About the Book

El rostro enigmático de México presenta hoy hondas cicatrices y un gesto que va del escepticismo a la ironía, del resentimiento al desprecio: ¿Cómo pueden descifrarse las inquietudes de ese rostro? ¿Qué estigmas conservan los mexicanos, a qué mitos se aferran? ¿Qué fracturas hay tras la guerra contra el narcotráfico, la vorágine migratoria y el descrédito de sus gobiernos, de sus aparatos de justicia y sus instituciones?

Jorge Castañeda nos ofrece aquí el análisis más profundo que se ha hecho en los últimos años sobre el carácter de su país. Sustentado por un estudio riguroso de filósofos, historiadores, economistas y demás intelectuales que han expresado su fervor o contrariedad por México, así como por las reflexiones de extranjeros que han visto en ese país a una nación marcada por la hospitalidad o la barbarie, Castañeda nos advierte sobre las idiosincrasias de los mexicanos: la indiferencia a la competencia; la desgana a defender sus convicciones; el por qué se resisten a las acciones colectivas y a la participación comprometida en luchas políticas; de qué manera el descuido de la industria turística afecta su economía; y cómo el crecimiento de la clase media no es necesariamente una señal contundente de bienestar y confianza en los gobiernos. Por las deducciones implacables sobre la realidad moderna mexicana, afiladas por la ironía en la crítica y el reconocimiento de sus zonas más oscuras y dolorosas, Mañana o pasado es, sin duda, la obra imprescindible para entender el México contemporáneo.
