Locura Y Disidencia En El México Ilustrado, 1760 1810

Resumen del Libro

Novel study of madness in late colonial Mexico, based on the records found in Inquisition, Criminals and Prisons sections of the AGN. Madness is understood as a behavior challenging religious discourse, rather than as a mental condition. Thus, this is a cultural, not a medical history –Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
