     Extractions: Home Destinations Tour information About us ... Contact You are here: Home Destinations Mexico Overview Tours Highlights Where to stay ... Other resources The first Mexican culture of which archaeological evidence has been discovered is the Olmec. Subsequent cultures following and overlapping were the Maya, Zapotec and Mixtec, Teotihuacan, Toltec and finally Aztec. The Aztecs had successfully expanded their rule over many other peoples in Mexico until, in 1519, a Spanish expedition under Hernan Cortes landed at Tabasco. By 1521 the Spaniards had defeated the Aztecs and established the colony of New Spain. In 1836, after years of struggle, Mexico finally won her independence from Spain. In the same year, American settlers who were now in a majority in Texas tried to break from Mexico, resulting in fighting between the USA and Mexico. Civil wars wracked Mexico throughout the 1850s, leading to European intervention, and finally, the capture of Mexico City by the French army which placed Archduke Maximilian of Austria on the throne of Mexico. After Maxilian was defeated and then executed, Mexico enjoyed its longest period free from war, under President Diaz. His failure to deliver political freedom led to the Revolution which lasted from 1911-1920. Through the 1920s and 30s the reforms for which the Revolution was fought (land reform, education, a reduction in Church power) were put into practice. In 1938 the oil industry and the USA and British owned companies were nationalized. By 1980 Mexico had become an important world oil producer. The oil revenues and the loans provided by overseas banks led to increasing inflation, and eventually, a financial collapse in 1982.

It's free! Save it. Pour moi, la culture de l'Europe a fait faillite et j'estime que dans le developpement sans frein de ses machines l'Europe a trahi la veritable culture; et moi, a mon tour, je me veux traitre a la conception europeenne du progres.1 In Notes sur les cultures orientales, Artaud writes that he had journeyed to Mexico in order to leave "Old World" European civilization (which he qualifies as "Barbaric")2 for the "New World" where he hoped to find, paradoxically, an ancient, primary and true culture predating Old World culture and its subsequent colonialization of the New World. In Mexico, where this "New World" ancient culture was to be found, Artaud was however disappointed to discover the corpse of the very civilization he had fled. In his Messages revolutionnaires he writes: "Je suis venu au Mexique pour y chercher l'art indigene et non une imitation de l'art europeen. Eh bien, si les imitations de l'art europeen sous toutes ses formes foisonnent, on n'y trouve pas d'art proprement mexicain" (MR, 301).
