Delivered in the charged atmosphere of post-Civil War New York, Thomas E. Massey's Mexico As It Is captures a rare live perspective on a nation in upheaval. History speaks directly from 1866. First presented at the Cooper Institute, New York, and then in other American cities, this historical lecture on Mexico offers an immediate Mexican political history overview from a contemporary witness, tracing shifting power, contested sovereignty and the complex strands of US-Mexico relations history in the mid-nineteenth century. As a 19th century lecture pamphlet, it preserves not only facts and arguments, but also the cadence, assumptions and anxieties of its moment - an invaluable window onto 19th century Mexico as it appeared to Northern audiences. A valuable primary source for researchers in Latin American history studies, Massey's address touches on Mexico's social conditions in the 1800s, questions of governance and foreign influence, and the place of Mexico within wider hemispheric debates. This nineteenth century political pamphlet speaks to readers interested in classic works on Mexico and in the evolution of US public opinion towards its southern neighbour, remaining highly accessible for history students and scholars as well as curious general readers. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
