se viajava: entender o modo de vida observado a partir da perspectiva de quem as vivia, os dois embarcaram em uma viagem de seis meses para o México. Dessa viagem resultou o primeiro livro de Tylor: Anahuac ou Mexico and the Mexicans, Ancient and Modern (1861). Além de observações típicas da literatura de viajantes sobre a terra e seu povo, Tylor deu atenção especial às “antiguidades” do período pré-colombiano e lamentou as condições políticas desse “desventurado país”, cujo povo era “incapaz de
