- 230 p. : ill.
The bulk of the literature discussing American cultural engagements with Mexico tends to focus on the border, but this collection by Bloom (American history, New York Institute of Technology) is intended to highlight social and cultural aspects of American visitors deeper into Mexico. Tourism is the focus of the first set of essays, which discuss the development of Mexico City nightlife, African-American writer Willard Motley's portrait of the 1950s Americanization of Mexican resorts, and the physical and social geography of the tourist destination of Cancun. Others discuss more sustained cultural engagements; including beatnik travels in Mexico and American folk-art dealers in Oaxaca. The final group of essays concentrates on American expatriate communities in Mexico. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
