It is not to be found at all on most maps, and almost none show its correct location. It is an unknown point in space, in time, and in the consciousness of the Mexican republic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Luis GonzÁlez's classic history of the world of San JosÉ, he turns his attention in every direction: toward what is lasting and what is ephemeral, everyday and unusual, material and spiritual. The story is, to some extent, the story of rural life anywhere, in any age; to some extent it is peculiar to the world of the peasant all through Mexico's history; and to some extent it can be said to be true only of San JosÉ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe history of San JosÉ is also the history of the village as victim of the megalopolis, not only in Mexico but everywhere in our time. With the small community will be lost traditions and a sense of continuity that may prove irreplaceable and essential to human wellbeing. While Luis GonzÁlez does not suggest that he knows what the fate of San JosÉ will be, one feels that he knows all too well, and that his questions are only \"How?\" and \"How soon?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbbreviations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrologue. \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Delimitation and Justification of the Subject\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome Remarks on Method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-Defense, Self-Criticism, and Aims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote concerning the Second Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Beginnings \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Mountain Landscape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Early History of Construction and Destruction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Society of Cowboys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart One.
