Beschreibung:
Adriana Méndez Rodenas is professor of Latin American and Caribbean literatures at the University of Iowa.
This book studies the travel accounts of five "lady travelers" to Mexico, the Southern Cone, Brazil, and the Caribbean. As eye-witness accounts, their books record the rise of independent republics in Spanish America. Women's travels provide a fresh look at indigenous and African populations in the New World and analyze women's social condition.
