A propos de cet article

Neuware - In the first decade of the 19th century the U.S. and Mexico reached out to one another to initiate diplomacy, trade, and cultural borrowings. Each faced the task of decolonization and nation-building. This book explores the political and cultural history of Mexico at the time of its independence from Spain. At the center of the study are letters written to the Philadelphia book publisher Mathew Carey by Thomas Robeson, a book agent Carey sent to Mexico in 1822. Author Vogeley demonstrates the important role that the inter-American book trade played in the formation of post-colonial national identities in the Americas and casts a new light on the historical interconnections between print capitalism and nationalism. Illustrations.
