Nuttall investigated Mexico's past to give recognition and pride to its present at a time when Western archaeology favoured salacious narratives of ancient Mesoamericans.[citation needed] In 1897, Nuttall published Ancient Mexican Superstitions in The Journal of American Folklore.[1] In it, she criticised the representation of ancient Mexicans as "bloodthirsty savages, having nothing in common with civilised humanity". "Such a hold upon the imagination that it effaces all other knowledge about the ancient civilisation of Mexico", she wrote. She hoped her work would "lead to a growing recognition of the bonds of universal brotherhood which unite the present inhabitants of this great and ancient continent to their not unworthy predecessors."
