El objetivo del artículo es explorar el contexto geopolítico al momento de inaugurarse la primera carretera directa entre la capital nacional y la frontera con Estados Unidos. Además de considerar el peso específico de dicho acontecimiento dentro de la esfera mediática, el texto intenta aportar al estudio histórico de los estereotipos culturales y la promoción turística entre ambos países. Mediante el acceso a fuentes documentales y correspondencia oficial de la época, los hallazgos conciernen a los significados que se construyeron acerca de la carretera y de México en sí. También discutimos las tensiones políticas y económicas entre las regiones del noreste y noroeste nacional. La reconstrucción del contexto histórico describe a la región fronteriza como un espacio de intercambios culturales de los que surgieron estereotipos precisos acerca de México y Estados Unidos. El hecho de que la carretera inaugurada llevase el nombre “Panamericana” tuvo implicaciones ideológicas y diplomáticas que en este trabajo se desmenuzan.  Universidad Autónoma de Baja California 2017-05-23 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html application/xml application/epub+zip application/pdf text/html application/xml application/epub+zip image/jpeg https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/587 10.21670/ref.2017.36.a06 Estudios Fronterizos Revista; Vol. 18 No. 36 (2017); 126-150 Estudios Fronterizos; Vol. 18 Núm. 36 (2017); 126-150 2395-9134 0187-6961 eng spa https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/587/1134 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/587/1147 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/587/1155 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/587/1165 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/587/1174 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/587/1183 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/587/1193 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/587/1202 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/587/1338 cobertura Derechos de autor 2017 Estudios Fronterizos
