Naïve & Abroad: Mexico, Painted Mask

Marcus Henderson Wilder was nice enough to send me in advance some info on his new book Naïve & Abroad: Mexico, Painted Mask. As I am pretty busy I missed his email and just thumbed through what he sent me. Sorry Marcus.

This is a book that American people should read and I highly recommend it.

Here is a little excerpt from the book:

Eighty years ago, my grandfather said the United States will one day be a brown nation.

In another eighty years, he will be right.

My grandfather was not racist…not anti-Mexican. My grandfather taught himself Spanish. My grandfather planted several Mexican Baptist churches in border towns and villages. Those churches are active today.

In 2023, more than half of all American school children will be non-white minorities…most Hispanic…most of these Mexican. Private schools for Anglos will flourish.

In 2042, single-race non-Hispanic whites will be forevermore a minority in the United States. Near the end of the century, we will be majority Hispanic…read Mexican.

These projections are based on current trends. If Mexico implodes, refugees will overwhelm the United States. We have neither physical nor financial resources to handle millions of refugees.

In 2007, Rodriguez and Garcia joined the top ten most common American surnames, up there with Smith, Brown, and Jones. Mexico will one day stretch from Guatemala to the Canadian border, or - Canadians note - farther.

He is right in what he is saying here. Go out and buy this book!!!
