Author Boyé Lafayette De Mente [known internationally known for his books on the business practices, customs and languages of China, Japan, Korea and Mexico] asserts that most people are ignorant of the amazing cultural heritage and character of the Mexican people. He says that when most people think of great cultural accomplishments they think of Europe and when they think of the exotic and perhaps the erotic they think of the Orient, while unknown to them they have overlooked one of the most unusual and fascinating countries on earth. De Mente uses key words in the Mexican language to identify and explain the contradictions and paradoxes of Mexico—the omnipresent trappings of Catholicism, the macho-cult of Mexican males, the conflicting treatment of females, the savage brutality of the criminal and the rogue cop, the gentle humility of the poor farmer, the warmth, kindness and compassion of the average city dweller and the extreme sensuality of the Mexican mindset. The book also explains why Mexicans are so attached to the culture and why so many foreigners find it so seductive and satisfying that they prefer to live in Mexico.

Excerpt from The Mexican Mind: A Study of National Psychology To its observation of Mexico the world has brought almost every element of illumination save one, - and that the most essential of all. It has neglected the universal touchstone of understanding, older than Solomon; the dictum that "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he." Neither in our writings upon Mexico nor in our practical dealings with the Mexicans, have we sought out the fountainhead of all their action and of all their failure, - the Mexican mind itself. Here, first and last, has been our basic error of approach, the wreck of all our desires to help or to use the Mexicans. The book which is offered here seeks to remedy, in part, this error of the past and to give a ground which may help to obviate its repetition in the future. Here is a humble beginning of a study to which many minds and many years should be devoted, - the clarifying of the mutual understanding of the Latin and the Saxon peoples of the Western Hemisphere by a frank comparison of the workings of their minds.

The Mexican-American Mind is a book intended to give the reader a glimpse into the mental machinations of members of the Mexican-American cultural group, which has grown into one of the largest minority groups in the nation. In this collection of essays, the reader becomes privy to understanding how Mexican-Americans feel about, as well as interpret, almost all areas of culture including men's roles, women's roles, relationships, marriage, religion, travel, and education. Caravantes gives expression to many cultural tendencies, which many have noticed, but few are willing to admit to in such a candid manner. Ultimately, this book, with its sociological inclinations, has an ultimate goal of acute cultural awareness among members of this population, as well as greater cultural awareness among those who service them.
