Jorge Castaneda
Why are Mexicans so successful in individual sports, but deficient in team play? Why does a country with such an ambivalent relationship with the United States host more American expats than any country in the world? Scholar and former Mexican foreign minister, Jorge Castaneda, examines the puzzling paradoxes of his native country, a nation at a crossroads, in, Manana Forever?: Mexico and the Mexicans (Knopf, $27.95). Castaneda is the author of Companero and Utopia Unarmed.
