Our Lady of Guadalupe is the only Marian apparition tradition in the Americas—and indeed in all of Roman Catholicism—that inspired a sustained series of published theological analyses. Theologians in each successive epoch since the mid-seventeenth century have plumbed the meaning of Guadalupe for their times. Their theological works are grounded in two realities: the first is the relationship between Guadalupe and her faithful, and the second is her power to shape their lives and their world. Theologies of Guadalupe examines the way theologians have understood Guadalupe and sought to orient her impact in the lives of her devotees. It also examines Guadalupe’s meaning in everyday devotees’ lives and the spread of Guadalupan devotion over nearly half a millennium. Chapters of this study successively examine core theological topics in the Guadalupe tradition developed in response to major events of Mexican history: conquest, attempts to Christianize native peoples, society building, independence, and the demands for justice of marginalized groups. The successive chapters also narrate how, amid the plentiful miraculous images of Christ, Mary, and the saints that dotted the sacred landscape of colonial New Spain, the Guadalupe cult rose above all others and emerged from a local devotion to become a regional, national, and then international phenomenon. From patristic-based theological writings in the colonial era down to contemporary formulations shaped by the emergence of liberation theologies in Latin America, the theologies under study here reveal how Christian concepts and scriptures imported from Europe developed in dynamic interaction with the new contexts in which they took root.

RESUMEN Las investigaciones sobre las fortificaciones en el norte de Nueva España son escasas. Además, aunque hay escritos aislados sobre algunas fortificaciones, no se han realizado estudios que de manera integral hagan un seguimiento de cada recinto fortificado. El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, motivo de este escrito, alberga un inmenso testimonio de los diversos procesos históricos que en su tendido se forjaron. Dicho testimonio se traduce en una gama de bienes patrimoniales que fueron construidos individual y colectivamente a lo largo de tres siglos. Su transformación da cuenta del conocimiento heredado de técnicas o modelos constructivos, y de estrategias de ocupación, lo cual le imprime un sentido de permanencia en el tiempo.PALABRAS CLAVESfortificaciones, Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, presidio de El PasajeABSTRACTInvestigations about the fortifications of northern New Spain are scarce. Besides, even though there are isolated writings on some types of fortification, no studies have been carried out that comprehensively track each fortified enclosure. The Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, the reason for this article, has left us an immense testimony of various historical processes forged in it. This testimony translates into a range of patrimonial assets that were built individually and collectively over the course of three centuries. Its transformation gives an account of the inherited knowledge of techniques or constructive models, and of the occupation strategies, which impress on it a sense of permanence in time.KEYWORDSfortifications, Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, El Pasaje prison

Central Claim

More than one hundred sermons on Our Lady of Guadalupe were published in New Spain during the colonial era. Bartolomé Felipe de Ita y Parra was the most prolific of the published Guadalupan preachers. Four of his extant twenty-two published sermons are focused on Guadalupe, each corresponding to a significant communal event: the 1731 bicentennial of the Guadalupe apparitions, the final service for a 1737 novena to plead for Guadalupe’s aid during a severe matlazahuatl epidemic, and two sermons linked with the campaign to declare Guadalupe the patroness of New Spain. This chapter explores the growth of Guadalupan devotion during the colonial era leading to her official designation as New Spain’s patroness in 1754. It also examines critically the theological claims articulated in colonial sermons such as those dedicated to Guadalupe, especially the central claim that divine providence guided society and its inhabitants.

Freedom Fighter

José Alvarez de Toledo y Dubois (1779–1858) was either a freedom-fighter turned traitor to the cause of Mexican independence or a spy for the Spanish empire at a time of intense competition among European powers and the early American Republic for dominance over northern New Spain and what would become Texas. In the course of his assimilation or appropriation of liberal discourse and his inciting rebellions, he became a pioneer in the use of the printing press to generate propaganda to recruit troops and financing in advance of military action. His various proclamations and pamphlets exhorted New Spain and other Spanish colonies in America to separate from the motherland and establish republics; a more lasting contribution, however, may have been his being partially responsible for the introduction of the first printing press and publication of the first newspaper in Texas during the early 19th century,
