What reading level is The Mexican Mind a Study of National Psychology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is true even in the lower levels of Mexican life where there is apparently little reasoning thought. Emotion is the slave of intellect, the sorry handmaiden of a mind which filters life through twisted sieves and raises itself to emotional heights or plunges itself to emotional depths with sybaritic deliberation. The moral standards of the people apparently depend not a little on sentiment, and while the national " ideals" of land distribution, isolation from foreign influence, 150 THE "EM...OTIONAL" MEXICAN etc. , take their power from sentiment and emotion, in their origins they all trace far back to intellectual decisions.
Great grief, easily assuaged by philosophic con- templation; passionate love which devises intel- lectual stimulants to maintain its fervor and finds its highest emotional expression in the largely men- tal amusement of jealousy; bravado which arouses itself by the reiteration of the fact that it is muy hombre (very much a man) ; bravery which is wise enough to work itself up into a noble frenzy only when it is sure that the enemy is numerically in- ferior or is already retiring; anger which never breaks unless for studied effect or under the in- fluence of intoxicants, these are Mexican emo- tionalism.
