Product Description
A Cultural-Inside Guide for Businessmen & Travelers: Mexico's traditional values and morals were forged in a caldron of aggressive religious intolerance, corruption, racism, male chauvinism, and an elitist political system that connived with the Church to keep ordinary people ignorant and powerless, and deny them the most basic human rights. But the reality of Mexico has always been obscured behind a variety of masks-of piety, pride, courage, gaiety, indifference and stoicism.
In this provocative and insightful book internationally known author Boye Lafayette De Mente goes behind the masks that have long obscured Mexico to reveal the cultural influences that created the character and personality of Mexicans, and provides guidelines for dealing with them.

Review
WHY MEXICANS THINK & BEHAVE THE WAY THEY DO! -- The Cultural Factors that Created the Character & Personality of the Mexican People! by Boye Lafayette De Mente, internationally known for his business, cultural-insight and language books on China, Japan and Korea, details the Indian, Spanish and Moorish influences on the mindset and behavior of Mexican.
The book includes dozens of "culturally pregnant" Mexican terms that serve as windows to the heart and soul of the Mexican people --from the tendency for violence in Mexican society to their love of the arts, dancing, music and singing.
It is an invaluable source of insights for anyone having anything to do with Mexico and its people.
