I have sought from the beginning of my writing endeavors to present a more balanced view of what it is like for an American living in Mexico and specifically GUANAJUATO. From the very start, I thought that what existed on the market, material directed toward potential expatriates, presented an image that moving to Mexico was like a Fantasy Island Welcoming Party where there is nothing but sugar and spice and everything nice waiting for the American who wants to live in Mexico. Mexico is too often presented as something it is not. Most so-called expats move from America to South of the Border based on Mexico as a Concept and Not a Reality. Some of those Americans who have moved to some areas of Mexico which the Mexican nationals have named, "GRINGOLANDIA", have resented, to the point of threatening violence, the picture I have painted of their existence in my books and articles. I have received death wishes, threats, and there was even one event in which someone or someones may have attempted to end my life because of the things I've written. |
