Summary: Limits to Friendship
Comment: This is a very interesting book for a serie of reasons. First, and foremost, the quality of the authors. Pastor was Carter's assistent for Latin America and is a respected scholar. Castañeda has always been an acute political scientist and (by irony, maybe) is currently Mexico's Ministry of Foreign Relations. This adds a deepness and seriousness much needed in the debate. Written in 1988/89, the book is now somewhat dated in some points. We have to remember that this was written before the end of the Cold War and before NAFTA - two defining moments in US-Mexican relations.
The authors divided the book in eight chapters, each chapter with two texts: Castañeda's and Pastor's. Each chapter deals with a different theme in the relation: perceptions of each other, each other foreign policies, questions of economic integration, and cultural diversity. The ninth chapter, the conclusion, is a colaborative chapter with the possibilities for cooperation.
Very well written by both and with very interesting questions and positions regarding US-Mexican relations, it is a must read even today. Due to the NAFTA debate, US-Mexican relations were given a very normative treatment by the Academic texts in the 90's, sometimes overlooking indispensable aspects of this complex interchange. A great way to learn more about realities so different yet so compelling.
