'The Lawless Roads (published as Another Mexico in the U.S.) is Graham Greene's 1939 non-fiction travelogue detailing his 1938 journey through Mexico to investigate severe Catholic persecution under President Calles' anti-clerical government, documenting destroyed churches, secret masses, and the resilient but oppressed faith of the people, and serving as crucial background for his novel The Power and the Glory. Greene explores the brutal suppression of Catholicism in states like Tabasco and Chiapas, revealing the stark contrast between the totalitarian state's ideology and the enduring spiritual lives of ordinary Mexicans, while also reflecting on sin, borders, and human nature.'
