Forgotten Futures, Colonized Pasts

Using close readings of literary texts, diaries, letters, newspapers, political essays, and travel narratives produced by writers from Greater Mexico, this book brings to light the forgotten imaginings of how elite Mexicans and Mexican Americans defined themselves and their relationship with Spain, Mexico, and the US in the nineteenth century.

Folosind lecturi stranse de texte literare, jurnale, scrisori, ziare, eseuri politice si naratiuni de calatorie produse de scriitori din Marele Mexic, aceasta carte scoate la lumina imaginatiile uitate ale modului in care elitii mexicani si mexicanii americani s-au definit si relatia lor cu Spania, Mexic , si SUA in secolul al XIX-lea.
