In the years between the passage of the liberal Constitution of 1812 in Spain and the arrival of Porfirio Diaz to the presidency of Mexico in 1876, individuals living and traveling in Mexico experienced great political, social, and economic unrest. This study seeks to answer the question: how did individuals living in central Mexico during this time of instability conceive of their identities? I have concluded that in the absence of a stable central government, individuals most closely affiliated themselves with regional identities keyed to distinct larger urban centers. These regional identities grew less from geographical formations and political boundaries than from economic affiliations and the impulse for self-preservation during highly volatile times. This meant that the parameters that delimited local identities were both smaller and larger than the boundaries of the new nation.

520 $a In the years between the passage of the liberal Constitution of 1812 in Spain and the arrival of Porfirio Diaz to the presidency of Mexico in 1876, individuals living and traveling in Mexico experienced great political, social, and economic unrest. This study seeks to answer the question: how did individuals living in central Mexico during this time of instability conceive of their identities? I have concluded that in the absence of a stable central government, individuals most closely affiliated themselves with regional identities keyed to distinct larger urban centers. These regional identities grew less from geographical formations and political boundaries than from economic affiliations and the impulse for self-preservation during highly volatile times. This meant that the parameters that delimited local identities were both smaller and larger than the boundaries of the new nation.
520 $a This study approaches the debates surrounding nationalism and identity by way of a cultural history of the two routes that ran between Veracruz and Mexico City in the nineteenth century. The routes and the region surrounding them are significant for several reasons. First, the divergent development of infrastructure connecting Veracruz and Mexico City illustrates the impact government sanction had on the circulation of information within regions. Second, these regions represented the first encounters many travelers had with the residents and terrain of Mexico. Foreign travelers, local merchants, military troops, domestic travelers and bandits utilized either the northern route via Jalapa or the southern route via Orizaba. The interactions between travelers and residents are captured not only in travel accounts but also in newspapers, almanacs, and court cases.
520 $a I examine the routes on two levels: first, as routes with highly distinct histories and economic affiliations, and second, as routes with distinct social contexts. As a result of their distinct histories, residents of towns along these routes identified with very different urban centers and very different regional spheres, despite their proximity. Ultimately, Mexico in the first half of the nineteenth century was an environment in which individuals came to crave citizenship and national identity, but had fully realized neither.
