Summary
"Spanning more than three hundred years and straddling several continents, this image-based survey analyzes the iconography and political ramifications of both the medieval Spanish devotion to Guadalupe, a black Madonna, and her American counterparts in South America and Mexico. Peterson explores the power of images that operate within the overlapping spheres of religion and political life. As a symbol both of conquest and liberation, Guadalupe embodies the ambivalence and tension of a powerful image that historically fostered independence and yet simultaneously, as a symbol of colonial authority, endorsed the very political structure it was often deployed to overthrow"--, Provided by publisher
