Synopsis
DIVbGoddess of the Americas/b is a brilliant study and an impassioned, unorthodox celebration of the Virgin of Guadalupe: mother goddess, patron saint of Mexico, protector of the downtrodden, who made her first appearance on American soil in 1531. Through a variety of forms?original essays, historical writings, fiction, drama, and poetry?the illustrious contributors to this volume examine the impact this potent deity has had on the people and culture of Mexico, and her influence beyond that country, in Latin America, North America, and Europe. An unprecedented contribution to the literature of the Americas, bGoddess of the Americas/b is an invigorating investigation, an idiosyncratic adoration, and a profound recognition of our need for the sacred, unwavering love of the mother goddess.
