Résumé
"La Malinche, a foundational figure in the history of Mexico, has been adorned with the halo of suspicion that enveloped Eve after her expulsion from paradise; condemned to silence and turned into one of the most frequent characters of Creole… writing. Deified by some and demonized by others, she has inspired tragedies, romantic dramas, chronicles, poems and even cartoons. Like all mythical and historical characters, it is necessary to revisit her periodically, delve into our roots, review the mestizaje and rethink her present and past wanderings to clarify the multiple meanings of one of the most powerful cultural enigmas in Mexico and Latin America. This volume brings together the memories of the colloquium entitled La Malinche, her Parents and Children, with the participation of Carlos Monsiváis, Roger Bartra, Hernán Lara Zavala, among other well-known writers; and two new essays on this controversial character: a panoramic look at the myths, uses and customs that have consolidated Malintzin as the paradigm par excellence of mestizaje." -- Translation provided by NLS
