- Title
La construcción de Nueva España: el mundo del libro.
- Authors
Vallejo Cervantes, Gabriela
- Abstract
Ever since the conquest of the New World, the population in these territories underwent a complex process of integration and transformation due to the contact with the pervading European culture. Within this context of profound acculturation, could New Spain define itself as an American kingdom with many particularities or as a European kingdom in America with the same rights as the rest of the territories of the Spanish Monarchy? The tension between these two possibilities was represented by the printed word: the book would be the means to convey, since the second half of the 16th century, the image of its specificity that would define the kingdom, confronted by its global perception by the Spanish empire.
