NEGRIN, Edith. Huasteca lands colonized by petroleum exploitation: Tampico, a novel. Lit. mex [online]. 2013, vol.24, n.2, pp.31-51. ISSN 2448-8216.

This article is part of a broad research on reviews narrative over oil and social life in modern Mexico. The saga starts in the second half of the twenties of the last century, and no wonders that the initial stories were written by foreign authors. One of the first novels focused in Mexican Petroleum, from the American Joseph Hergesheimer is Tampico, published in 1926 and translated to Spanish in 1929. The present essay intends to present a writer and a novel scarcely known in the Mexican cultural field. Tampico's textual analysis shows its internal organization, and the colonizing ideology that sustains it.

Keywords : novel; history; oil.
