This essay explores how the terms America & Americanos evolved in the Spanish language, tracking their semantic shifts over the period in which the national states arose, specifically focusing on Mexico. Observing the changing meaning of these words gives us some insights into what was occurring in political & institutional circles. We can identify a moment when the old nomenclature shifted in favor of a politicized use of the term & it became a universal byword for the new American national states. However, this unitary sense tended to break up as new meanings were attributed to it, rooted in nationalist sentiments. The old split between America & Europe gave way to a confrontation between American nations. As a unitary political referent, the term America gradually lost its initial political drive & went back to being the quasi-neutral name for America, the place where Americanos are born. References.
