Abstract:

Although geographically a part of North America, Mexico is culturally and linguistically very much a part of Spanish-speaking Central and South America. While the politicians and intellectuals who run the government are very wary of the cultural and political influence of the United States, the people are much less so. Even though the relationship between the two nations' governments is often tense, that between the peoples is usually warm.
