Tanto en la "cultura popular" como en el mundo letrado, México es determinante en las concepciones acerca de América Latina existentes en Estados Unidos. Por ende, su historiografía en torno a México constituye un lugar privilegiado para explorar los "imaginarios historicos" sobre America Latina en dicho pais. Tales imaginarios adquirieron novedosas connotaciones hacia la decada de 1960 debido al cambio de paradigmas politicos y culturales, que incidio de formas complejas sobre el mundo intelectual, por lo cual la historiografia estadunidense sobre Mexico comprende un espectro de posiciones. Ello es palpable al escudriñar a los historiadores "como autores", explorando sus estrategias narrativas y las estructuras de sus relatos, asi como las "palabras clave" que articulan sus obras. De tal modo se revela como las funciones retoricas operan en la historia. Y esto resalta las "politicas de representacion" de la obra historica, lo que remite a las posiciones eticas y politicas de su autor, emanadas, no solo de las cuestiones academicas, sino, tambien, de los dilemas de su sociedad, su epoca, su identidad, su cultura. Se puede, pues, argumentar que Mexico y America Latina en general ha fungido como un "espejo" en el cual los estadunidenses han auscultado la imagen de su propia nacion y su sociedad. En lo que al corpus documental se refiere, esta investigacion se centra en obras emblematicas. El libro consta de dos secciones: la primera, "Relatos", analiza las narraciones de un selecto grupo de historiadores, cada uno de los cuales ha contribuido a definir los patrones interpretativos y a instaurar los relatos arquetipicos en sus respectivas areas de saber; la segunda, "Palabras clave", explora como diversos autores han organizado sus historias en torno a determinados conceptos, verbigracia: "raza"/"etnicidad", "clase social" y "nacion". Estos terminos han sido centrales en la historiografia moderna, fungiendo de "keywords" de varias de las corrientes historiograficas. El libro culmina con unas "Reflexiones finales" en torno a las tradiciones intelectuales y a la produccion del conocimiento historico en general.
