This article analyzes aspects of the construction of Latin American
identity in the nineteenth century and argues that this process was
based on the contrast between an idealized personality, which circulated
among peoples of Latin origin, particularly Hispanics, and an imagined
vision of the Anglo-Saxon character that was especially strong in the
United States. This opposition, which has been much studied in the
context of the late nineteenth century, was already present in the early
part of the same century and over time it gained particular dimensions
depending on specific conceptions. These travel accounts – which were
the main sources used in this article - were instrumental in the circulation,
appropriation and selection of these conceptions.
