Overview

«México no existe antes del encuentro de Moctezuma y Cortés. De ese encuentro tenemos ideas aprendidas en primaria y que corresponden a esa historia mítica en la que se atribuyen todas las maldades al invasor. Ese encuentro es uno de los eventos más importantes en la historia humana».

La historia oficial mexicana y sus usos políticos nos han maniatado, limitado, paralizado y, en varias ocasiones, nos han llevado al borde del fracaso absoluto. En este libro, Macario Schettino intenta explicar México a lo largo de más de quinientos años, en el marco de sus sucesos históricos específicos y, lo que es más interesante y distingue a esta interpretación, como parte y a contrapunto de los acontecimientos en el resto del mundo.

En el proceso, Schettino encuentra que en el siglo XX se impuso una visión corporativa encima de las estructuras sociales tradicionales de México, produciendo así una fricción continua, solo aminorada mediante el uso y abuso de los recursos públicos. Hasta que se acabaron.

En el sexto siglo, que apenas iniciamos, hay una identidad mexicana que aún lucha por definirse y corre el peligro de fragmentarse. Frente a la desintegración, hay dos caminos: la conspiración o la confrontación.

El relato de esta obra propone que el medio milenio transcurrido desde la Conquista hasta nuestros días ha tenido como eje la conspiración: la de Cortés contra Velázquez; la de Cuitláhuac contra Moctezuma; la de los hermanos Ávila en su intento de aprovechar la muerte del segundo virrey novohispano; las múltiples conspiraciones que dieron lugar al criollismo; las que construyeron al México independiente; las que dieron lugar a la Revolución; las que permitieron gestionar la fricción durante décadas, manteniendo al mismo partido en el poder… Por último, las conjuras para lograr la efímera transición a la democracia, finalmente víctima de esa fricción continua y de la confusión resultante de dos sociedades disonantes, pero entretejidas.

Por cinco siglos, lo que hemos hecho es conspirar. Y, como argumenta el autor, si queremos construir un México mejor, tendremos que hacerlo una vez más.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“Mexico does not exist before the encounter between Moctezuma and Cortés. From that encounter we have ideas learned in elementary school, tied to a mythical history in which all evils are attributed to the invader. That encounter is one of the most important events in human history.”

Official Mexican history and its political uses have shackled us, limited us, paralyzed us, and on several occasions, brought us to the brink of absolute failure. In this book, Macario Schettino attempts to explain Mexico across more than five hundred years, within the framework of its specific historical events and—most interestingly, and what distinguishes this interpretation—as part of and in contrast to the events of the rest of the world.

In the process, Schettino finds that in the twentieth century a corporate vision was imposed over Mexico’s traditional social structures, producing continuous friction, only mitigated through the use and abuse of public resources—until they ran out.

In the sixth century, which we are just beginning, there is a Mexican identity still struggling to define itself and at risk of fragmenting. In the face of disintegration, there are two paths: conspiracy or confrontation.

The narrative of this work proposes that the half millennium that has passed since the Conquest has been driven by conspiracy: Cortés against Velázquez; Cuitláhuac against Moctezuma; the Ávila brothers attempting to take advantage of the death of the second viceroy of New Spain; the multiple conspiracies that gave rise to criollismo; those that built independent Mexico; those that sparked the Revolution; those that managed friction for decades, keeping the same party in power… and finally, the plots that enabled the fleeting transition to democracy, ultimately undone by continuous friction and the confusion born of two dissonant yet intertwined societies.

For five centuries, what we have done is conspire. And, as the author argues, if we want to build a better Mexico, we will have to conspire once again.
