The Illusion of Ignorance examines the cultural politics of the
American encounter with Porfirian Mexico as a precursor and model
for the twentieth-century American encounter with the world.
Detailed discussions of the logistics of conducting diplomacy,
doing business, or traveling abroad in the era give readers a vivid
picture of how Americans experienced this age of international
expansion, while contrasting Mexican and American visions of the
changing relationship. In the end, Mexico's efforts to promote
Mexico as a partner in progress with the U.S. was lost to an
American illusion schizophrenically divided between fantasies of
American leadership toward, and refuge from, modernity. The
Illusion of Ignorance argues that American ignorance of the
experience of other nations is not so much a barrier to better
understanding of the world, but a strategy Americans have chosen to
maintain their vision of the U.S. relationship with the world.
