- Summary:
- This book examines cultural politics of the American encounter with Porfirian Mexico as a precursor and model for the twentieth-century American encounters. American ignorance of other nations' experiences is less a barrier to better understanding the world than a strategy Americans chose to maintain their vision of the U.S.'s relationships.
