The long history of transatlantic movement in the Spanish-speaking
world has had a significant impact on present-day concepts of
Mexico and the implications of representing Mexico and Latin
America more generally in Spain, Europe, and the world. In addition
to analyzing texts that have received little to no critical
attention, the book examines the connections between contemporary
travel, including the local dynamics of encounters and the global
circulation of information, and the significant influence of the
history of exchange between Spain and Mexico in the construction of
existing ideas of place. To frame the analysis of contemporary
travel writing, the book examines key moments in the history of
Mexican-Spanish relations, including the origins of narratives
regarding Spaniards' sense of Mexico's similarity to and difference
from Spain. This history underpins the discussion of the role of
Spanish travelers in their encounters with Mexican peoples and
places and their reflection on their own role as communicators of
cultural meaning and participants in the tourist economy with its
impact-both negative and positive-on places.
