Mexico's Ancestral History: basic education book to initiate decolonization

by Guillermo Marín

Guillermo Marín works are very interesting because in general, they invite us to a deep identity reflection, however, the most important thing is that his work goes beyond the merely cultural and penetrates into spiritual intimacy. He defines culture as the greatest spiritual language. Therefore, and justifiably, the author defines himself as "a Toltecayotl cultural promoter."

His Anahuac civilization defense is passionate and courageous. Marín proposes "re-founding the Patria through human values inherited from the "mother culture," and is convinced that the country's future lies in the knowledge and decolonized recognition of its past.

Few authors present such an integral and profound vision of Mexico's past. Marín achieves this precisely because he is not a historian; he approaches the past in a practical and objective way and uses history as a tool to awaken what he calls "the cultural information genetic bank" or the so-called genetic collective memory.

Guillermo Marín's work is a must-read and provocative, because we all, one way or another, feel the need to delve into the innermost recesses of our own identity.
