Title: La fuerza de la palabra impresa
First published: 1997
Description: "Long overdue look at a key architect of Mexican liberalism concentrates on the rhetorical edifice Bustamante constructed, and examines how his successors used his works for their own post-revolutionary purposes. Includes interesting material on how Bustamante consistently manipulated the facts to suit his own ideas, and zeros in on his creation of myths such as the heroic insurgent Indian and virtuous insurgent creole women (the Corregidora being just one example), along with his saintly Morelos in contrast to the vile Calleja"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
