Abstract: Statement of the Problem. The problem of the study was to analyze the content materials in selected senior high school American history textbooks which pertained directly to Mexico. Scope of the Problem. The study was delimited in four major ways: (1) to the content material within the textbooks that directly pertained to Mexico; (2) to senior high school American history textbooks; (3) to a selected number of textbooks; and (4) to a content analysis of the textbooks. In many ways the delimitations of the study corroborated findings made in previous studies. Decided differences also appeared. The most obvious difference between this study and previous ones, is that it is concerned only with the content material within the textbooks that directly pertained to Mexico. By concentrating on one subject within the textbooks it was possible to make a more thorough, detailed, and accurate investigation.
