Contends that colonial Mexico was a true mestizo society, integrating Indians, Europeans, Africans and Asians into a unique cultural mix. Discusses the areas rich pre-Columbian heritage, and traces the merging of meso-American and European cultures. The evolution of the new mestizo society is analyzed through an examination of the colony's institutions, economy and social organization. The role of women and family receive particular attention.
