This chapter shows how an English literary appropriation of Mexican ritual could outstrip the interpretive possibilities afforded by standard post-colonial paradigms. In this chapter, he take up two more Englishmen, Graham Greene and Evelyn Waugh, who travelled to Mexico, ostensibly to report on the Mexican socio-political situation but whose reflections tend consistently back toward contemporary Europe. As with D. H. Lawrence, the meditations of Greene and Waugh are Europe-centered but are not particularly well illuminated by the well-worn notion of Eurocentrism. Greene travelled to Mexico in the spring and Waugh in the fall of 1938. Greene had wanted to visit Mexico for some time, and he secured a deal with Longmans to write a nonfiction account of the Mexican government's persecution of Catholics. Waugh was enlisted by Clive Pearson to advertise the injustice of the expropriation of British oil interests by the Mexican government.
