Description
Book Synopsis: The vibrant community of Ajijic, idyllically situated on the shores of Lake Chapala in Mexico, is one of the most cosmopolitan villages in the world. In the 1940s it was a small, remote, parochial village of farmers and fishermen. But waves of foreigners settling in the village led to ripples that spread across the entire community. From artists, writers, entrepreneurs and philanthropists to land-grabbers, paradise-seekers, hippies and eccentrics — all brought their own ideas and aspirations, inevitably inspiring a transformation of their host community. Why, how and when did this happen? What and who were the driving forces behind this astonishing evolution? Foreign Footprints in Ajijic examines how this humble village grew, how the lives of its residents changed, and how a colorful cast of foreigners forever changed this slice of Mexican heaven.
