MEMSA Race Reading Group

The reading to be discussed is “Creating Chichimec-Uanacaze Ethnic Identity,” Chapter 4 from Angélica Jimena Afanador-Pujol’s The Relación de Michoacán: (1539-1541) and the Politics of Representation in Colonial Mexico. The Introduction to the book is also included as optional reading, which may be very helpful in providing a context for the Relación. You can find a PDF here.
