"Mornings in Mexico" is a collection of essays written by D.H. Lawrence, published in 1927. The essays describe Lawrence's experiences and observations during his travels in Mexico in the 1920s. The collection explores themes of culture, history, and identity, as Lawrence reflects on the people, landscape, and customs of Mexico. He describes the Mexican culture as being more primitive and passionate than the culture of Europe and the United States. He reflects on the connection between the people and nature, as well as the religious practices, and the mix of ancient and contemporary customs. He also writes about his personal experiences and the people he met during his travels. The collection is considered a valuable insight into the culture and society of Mexico during the 1920s, as well as a reflection on the themes of travel and cultural exchange.
