Richard Grabman ...

Richard Grabman (born 21 January 1956) is an American author and writer on Mexican history and culture.

Born in Geneva, N.Y., Grabman was educated at local Catholic schools, the SUNY College of Forestry and Syracuse University, where he received a B.A. in English in 1974. He did graduate work in English at Butler University, Indianapolis, IN.

In Indiana, he participated in the Indiana Writers’ Center and Writers’ Center Press and wrote for alternative publications and literary magazines. After additional training in computer programming and accounting, he worked as a free-lance technical writer and journalist. A long-term assignment in Texas sparked his interest in Mexican history and culture. Grabman moved to Mexico City in 2001, where he taught English as a Second Language and wrote extensively for on-line publications about Mexican politics and contemporary culture. His website, The Mex Files, has been referenced in numerous international on-line and print publications. From 2006 to 2008 Grabman lived in Alpine Texas. While there, he wrote "Gods, Gachupines and Gringos: A People's History of Mexico" and “Bosques War: How a Mexican Diplomat Saved 400,000 from the Nazis and maybe prevented World War III.” Both were published by Editorial Mazatlán, where he has been Gestor de Proyectos since 2009.
