Produktbeschreibung

New Directions in Transnational Mexican History: Mexico On the World Stage is the first collection by historians to examine foreign immigration to Mexico as a way to interpret the significance of Mexican transnationalism and pluriculturalism. The contributors analyze Mexico as a recipient nation, broadening the application of transnationalism to encompass not only foreign migrants but Mexican figures like Francisco Madero who were deeply influenced by transnational experiences. This book explore the roles of Spanish entrepreneurs, U.S. consuls, American and Mexican medical professionals, transnational railroad workers, borderland cowboys, international divas, cosmopolitan puppeteers, American missionaries, and Mexican women soccer players. This area of interdisciplinary inquiry has attracted the latest generation of scholars destined to publish their works during the age of globalization. These pioneering scholars use transnational approaches to determine if Mexico has emerged as a transmigration and emigration state and if the Mexican people's extraterritorial influence embodied in the terms "Greater Mexico" and "México de Afuera" applies to larger swaths of the Americas and the world.
