Culture y cultura

"In 1846, the United States and Mexican Republic began fighting a war that lasted for nearly two years. When the conflict ended with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, Mexico had lost the northern Frontier, which amounted to half of its territory. Published by the Autry Museum of Western Heritage in Los Angeles, California, to accompany a major special exhibition, Culture y Cultura: Consequences of the U.S.-Mexican War, 1846-1848 examines the impact of the war on contemporary life on both sides of what has become the border."--BOOK JACKET.
