Female Amerindians in Early Modern Spanish Theater is a collection
of essays that focuses on the female Amerindian characters in
comedias based on the discovery, exploration, and conquest of
America. This book emerges as a response to the limited number of
studies that focus on these characters, and more importantly, on
the function of these characters as theatrical artifacts within
conquest plays. Conquest plays are about a handful, their heroes
are the European male conquerors, yet 'the Amerindian' has
attracted attention from critics for the value as constructs of
cultural discourse. We see this character, the 'theatrical Indian,'
as a construct, an instrument, in many ways, a spectacular artifact
of the baroque tramoya, which emerges from the conversion point of
the Counterreformation ideology. It has been our purpose here to
advance the study of these characters by adding a gender
perspective. Therefore, while sociological and cultural studies are
still a fundamental part of the theoretical framework of this
project, we use feminism as a critical matrix in our inquiries.
Amerindian female characters stand apart from male Amerindians and
Spanish women in dramas, which, we believe, make them worthy of
individual attention. The articles in this collection delineate
different representations of Amerindian women and, as a whole, this
book contributes to a better understanding of the dramatic use of
these characters.
