About this book

Originally published in 1971, Tiempo mexicano examines totality and instantaneity as defining characteristics of Mexican time. The work presents a portrait of Mexican identity that integrates indigenous cosmogony, the wounds of the Conquest, the hopes of Independence, the challenges of the Revolution, and the ambitions and promises of modern Mexico. Decades after its original publication, the book continues to inform reflection on Mexico's national development and trajectory. It serves as essential context for understanding Carlos Fuentes's narrative work, which centers on time and its circular patterns.
