Description

Book Synopsis
Spanning some three hundred years, this masterful study of the transmission of the Virgin of Guadalupe from Spain to the Americas and back again explores the subjectivity of seeing and the power of an image at the intersection of religion and politics.

Trade Review
Incredibly thorough in both research and analysis, this book sets a standard for scholars of Spanish and Mexican art, religion, and culture. * Library Journal *
The book expands the understanding of the connections between sacred representations and the ways they are envisioned by different communities of the faithful. . . . Future researches on Latin American sacred art and Mexican culture in general will indeed be inspired by Visualizing Guadalupe. * The Americas *
