De l'histoire du Mexique, le public connaît les grandes figures et les hauts lieux dont se sont emparés la littérature et le cinéma : les chasseurs aux armes de bois et de pierre qui ornent les sites olmèques ; des noms - Mayas, Toltèques, Aztèques - qui sonnent comme des promesses de voyage dans le temps ; l'aventure du conquérant Cortés ou celle de Juárez qui mit fin aux rêves de Maximilien et de Napoléon III ; les exploits de PAncho Villa ou d'Emiliano Zapata et jusqu'à l'étrange Christiade, cette croisade de l'intérieur, superbement mise en scène par Graham Greene dans "La Puissance et la Gloire".

Are the Mexican people the children of Moctezuma or the children of Cortés? This question, long the central problem of Mexican historians, Justo Sierra answered by saying, "The Mexicans are the sons of the two peoples, of the two races … to this we owe our soul." Because Sierra recognized the dual parentage, he was able to view his country's history as an evolutionary process. Formed in both the indigenous past and the colonial past, the Mexican people, after three hundred years of slow and painful gestation, were finally born with the arrival of Independence. They came of age when the Reform, the Republic, and the nation achieved a single identity. This classical synthesis, written on the eve of the Mexican Revolution, gave direction to the generation that furnished the Revolution's intellectual leaders. Although the author was Secretary of Public Instruction in the dictatorial regime of Porfirio Díaz, he was the first historian to show sympathy for the plight of the masses, and his book ends with the warning that political evolution has lost its way unless the result is freedom. As Edmundo O'Gorman points out in an important essay on Mexican historiography, written especially for this edition, Sierra was also the first to write a history of his nation in a sincere endeavor to get at the truth, instead of shaping his account to prove a thesis or to preach some political faith. And yet, his work "owes its originality and its lasting merit to his vigorous interpretation of Mexico's history in the light of his convictions, of his keen insight, even of his fears." Though the chapters on the pre-Columbian Indian have been rendered obsolete by later archeological discoveries, the rest of the history is still valid and needs only to be brought up to date.
