MEXICO – UNA PIÑATA BIBLIOGRÁFICA
Philadelphia Rare Books and Manuscripts
“The Dupee Collection brings the John Hay’s Latin American holdings to life for students and senior scholars alike. The collection’s nearly 200 broadsides chronicle Mexican partisan politics, religious and anti-clerical debates, popular literature and drama, domestic revolutions and armed conflict with the United States. It contains basic records of the Mexican republic previously absent from Brown’s holdings – statutes, executive decrees, the documentary framework necessary for the study of a nation’s history and culture.
Together with the broadsides, newspapers, and pamphlets, these official records provide an extraordinary opportunity for teaching and research in Mexican studies here at Brown. Students can become familiar with the various formats in which Mexican politicians, economists, dramatists, and clerics of the early and mid-nineteenth century debated the fate of the struggling new republic while investigating the personalities and issues involved.”
