The Course of Mexican History, 11th Edition, is an academic history textbook designed to provide higher education professors, AP teachers, and students with a survey of Mexican history. Authored by Susan M. Deeds, Michael C. Meyer, and William L. Sherman, the text covers political, social, and economic developments in Mexico from pre-Columbian times to the present.

The narrative synthesizes early Mesoamerican civilizational periods, the rise of the Aztec empire, the Spanish invasion, and the settlement of New Spain. Subsequent sections examine colonial economic structures, nineteenth-century independence wars, the Porfiriato, and the violent disruptions of the Mexican Revolution before addressing modern neoliberal policy.

Published by Oxford University Press in 2017, this survey provides grounded material for academic courses in Latin American history, equipping educators and students with broad regional context.
