This book offers a new and insightful look at the interconnections
between the United States, Brazil and Mexico during the nineteenth
century. Gerassi-Navarro brings together U.S. and Latin American
Studies with her analysis of the travel narratives of Frances
Calderon de la Barca and Elizabeth Cary Agassiz. Inspired by the
writings of Alexander von Humboldt these women, in their travels,
expand his views on the tropics to include a social dimension to
their observations on nature, culture, race, and progress in Brazil
and Mexico. Highlighting the role of women as a new kind of
observer as well as the complexity of connections between the
United States and Latin America, Gerassi-Navarro interweaves
science, politics, and aesthetics in new transnational frameworks.
