Tierra Adentro Mar En Fuera El Puerto De Veracruz Y Su Litoral A Sotavento, 1519-1821

A historical narrative with many novelistic elements, this volume tells the story of the slow making of the vast southern region of Veracruz, and of its main transformation, from a wide providence marked by long lasting cultural elements dating 3000 years before the Conquest to its transformation into what was a rich border constantly disputed by the ancient Mesoamerican states. These pages offer a testimony of the complex process that turned Veracruz from a sandy and inhospitable village to Mexico s most important trade passage.
