In many respects, Mexico is moving forward, boosted by nearly two decades of post-NAFTA economic transformation. However, the country still suffers from serious problems related to corruption, a weak legal system, and an ongoing (though declining) wave of organized crime and violence. So far in 2013 Mexico has attracted billions of dollars of new investment from foreign companies, but it has also witnessed the emergence of vigilante groups in several parts of the country where the federal government has been unable to effectively combat organized crime.

Shannon O’Neil’s new book Two Nations Indivisible: Mexico, the United States, and the Road Ahead, insightfully analyzes and explains the different and at times paradoxical aspects of modern Mexico. Throughout the book, O’Neil livens the narrative with well-told anecdotes drawn from her own experiences in Mexico City and other parts of the country. She distills more than two decades of research into straightforward prose and also shares the stories of the friends and acquaintances she met through the years.
