This article analyzes aspects of the construction of Latin Americanidentity in the nineteenth century and argues that this process wasbased on the contrast between an idealized personality, which circulatedamong peoples of Latin origin, particularly Hispanics, and an imaginedvision of the Anglo-Saxon character that was especially strong in theUnited States. This opposition, which has been much studied in thecontext of the late nineteenth century, was already present in the earlypart of the same century and over time it gained particular dimensionsdepending on specific conceptions. These travel accounts – which werethe main sources used in this article - were instrumental in the circulation,appropriation and selection of these conceptions.
