La Guera罗德里格

在La Guera罗德里格斯:墨西哥独立的生命和传说女主角(U出版社,2021),西尔维亚滨阿罗姆的传说玛丽亚Ignacia罗德里格斯•德•贝拉斯科y Osorio胡须(1778 - 1850),著名的绰号“La Guera罗德里格斯。”Seeking to disentangle the woman from the myth, Arrom uses a wide array of primary sources from the period to piece together an intimate portrait of this remarkable woman, followed by a review of her evolving representation in Mexican arts and letters that shows how the legends became ever more fanciful after her death. How much of the story is rooted in fact, and how much is fiction sculpted to fit the cultural sensibilities of a given moment in time? This is an indispensable resource for those searching to understand late-colonial Mexico, the role of women in the independence movement, and the use of historic figures in crafting national narratives.
