Delirio-The Fantastic, the Demonic, and the Réel

Angebote / Angebote:

In this pioneering ethnography, Marie Theresa Hern?ndez explores how the folktales of Nuevo Le?n encode aspects of Nuevolenese identity that have been lost, repressed, or fetishized in "legitimate" histories of the region. She focuses particularly on stories regarding three groups: the Sephardic Jews said to be the "original" settlers of the region, the "disappeared" indigenous population, and the supposed "barbaric" society that persists in modern Nuevo Le?n. Hern?ndez's explorations into these stories uncover the region's complicated history, as well as the problematic and often fascinating relationship between history and folklore, between officially accepted "facts" and "fictions" that many Nuevoleneses believe as truth.
