Embracing U.S., Texas, and Mexican history; early ethnography; geography; and political philosophy, de Zavala outlines the cultural and political institutions of Jacksonian America and post-independence Mexico. de Zavala's commentary rivals Alex de Tocqueville's classic travel narrative, Democracy in America, which was published in Paris one year after de Zavala's.In passionate prose, de Zavala argues for the incorporation of the true democratic ideals of the enlightenment in the fledgling Republic of Texas. He hoped Texas would meld the best of both Mexican and American cultures. de Zavala believed that if his colleagues who helped frame the Texas Constitution understood the complexities of democracy and the ideals that their state could achieve through a liberal, federal government that gave equal rights to all of its constituents: Native Americans, Mexicans, Euro-Americans, and free African Americans.The original text is accompanied by eight pages of maps and historical photos, John-Michael Rivera's critical introduction, and an English translation based upon Wallace Woolsey's deft translation, expanded and revised for the purposes of this volume 410 0$aRecovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage Project publication. 606 $aMexicans$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aPolitical culture$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPublic opinion$zMexico 607 $aMexico$xRelations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xDescription and travel 607 $aUnited States$xForeign public opinion, Mexican 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1815-1861 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zMexico 615 0$aMexicans 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory 615 0$aPublic opinion 676 $a973.5/6 700 $aZavala$b Lorenzo de$f1788-1836.$01815368 701 $aWoolsey$b Wallace$01815369 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962212003321 996 $aJourney to the United States of America$94370281 997 $aUNINA
