Presencia política y cultural de México en Honduras

Abstract

Cultural integration is a constant in the relations between Honduras and Mexico. Without a doubt, the cultural influences of the latter country on the former are more than evident. In this sense, in the present work some examples are given and an assessment is made of the Mexican political and cultural presence in Honduras. This offers a panorama of these relations both at the diplomatic level and at the cultural, political, intellectual and popular level. In this way, some elements are identified that have given meaning to this type of relationship and the particularity of these political and cultural encounters. For this reason, we refer to some historical facts that show the importance of these relationships and their interpretation in a context convulsed by the events that took place in Mexico and Honduras during the 20th century, such as the Mexican Revolution or the Mexican aid to the Central American country after the effects of Hurricane Mitch that dramatically affected Central America in 1998.
