Jeffrey Davidow coined the phrase "the bear and the porcupine"-which has now entered Mexican political discourse-to describe the difficult relationship between the hypersensitive Mexican "porcupine" and the "insensitive" American bear. In this revised and expanded second edition, Davidow picks up the story of U.S.-Mexican relations since he left his ambassadorial post in 2003, explaining the implications of the Fox administration and the outcome of the 2006 election and reflecting on the volatile immigration issue that has exploded into public debate in the United States.

Reviews

This at times indiscreet memoir provides not only fascinating vignettes of the principal actors in Mexico City, but also sharp profiles of leading U.S. politicians and diplomats as they dealt with the always prickly issues on the U.S.-Mexican agenda.... This vivid account of a vital international relationship, by an ambassador so recently returned from his post, must be unique in its candor. - Foreign Affairs ""In this vivid memoir, Davidow, U.S. ambassador to Mexico from 1998 to 2002, sheds light on the curious profession of diplomacy and enjoyably depicts how such work ranges from the fascinating to the foolish... Davidow shares vital new insights in the growing debate over Mexican immigration. He dishes valuable descriptions of the cast of political characters involved in U.S.-Mexico diplomacy... His many years of experience... make his a valuable perspective, spiced with poignant humor and sharp criticism that will delight readers interested in what goes on behind closed doors in Washington and Mexico."" - Publishers Weekly
