In 1998 the anniversaries of two momentous landmarks in world history converged: the sesquicentennial of the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (the founding date of Mexican American/ Chicano history) and the centennial of the 1898 Spanish-American War. This volume presents the best papers from the 1848/1898 @ 1998 Transhistoric Thresholds conference held at Arizona State University in December 1998.

Among the topics covered are border crossings during the Mexican-American War, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and NAFTA, World's Fairs and the Spanish-American War, and the significance of the works of José Santos Chocano, Rubén Darío, and Manuel Méndez Ballester.
