Description

For a period of ten years, up-and-coming American photographer Mack and writer Steines crisscrossed Mexico, photographing its vibrant city and rural life, its stunning architecture, striking landscapes, and captivating people. With roughly 175 images representing all 31 states, Revealing Mexico offers a poetic vista of Mexico's landscape today. What's more, the book also includes portraits of individuals from all walks of Mexican life, such as the writers Carlos Fuentes and Jorge Volpi; business icons such as Carlos Slim; the artists Leonora Carrington, Gustavo Pérez, and Betsabée Romero; academics Enrique Krauze, Denise Dresser, and Carlos Monsiváis; the actors Ignacio López Tarso and Edith González, as well as a fisherman, a cliff diver, a taco seller, a wrestler, and a mariachi—plus many others. Each portrait is accompanied by an interview in which the subject speaks about what it means to be Mexican.

Revealing Mexico is the book of the Mexican bicentennial. On a national level, it offers a new way for Mexicans to see their country. On an international level, it aims to reaffirm cultural relationships across borders, one people to another. It presents an honest window into the country's everyday life, offering a chance to set aside cultural stereotypes and say, once and for all, "This is the real Mexico."
