Mexico’s significance, as witnessed through Jim Luce’s travels to the vibrant Mexico City and the border town of Tijuana, lies in its rich historical and cultural tapestry that predates much of the United States. Mexico City, a thriving metropolis before Boston’s founding, embodies centuries of indigenous and colonial heritage. Yet, many Americans remain unaware that vast regions, including California and much of the U.S. West, were once Mexican territory, ceded through historical conflicts. This complex history underscores Mexico’s enduring influence on North American identity, culture, and shared borders.
