El Puerto del Silencio
En esta segunda novela Valentín Mendoza pone en juego nuevos recursos de sus naturales dotes de narrador de largo aliento. Esta vez el autor nos conduce de la mano a través de una galería de tipos humanos y de eventos cargados de fuerte trascendencia social. Sin embargo, el dibujo de los personajes y de sus circunstancias es tan delicado y sutil que en ningún momento percibe el lector el asomo de la ideología en que se apoya la tesis que justifi ca la construcción del relato. Vale destacar el papel que juegan las mujeres en la confi guración de la historia y muy en particular, la fe en la nobleza del espíritu humano.
Gendered Crossings
Between 1778 and 1784 the Spanish Crown transported more than 1,900 peasants, including 875 women and girls, from northern Spain to South America in an ill-fated scheme to colonize Patagonia. The story begins as the colonists trudge across northern Spain to volunteer for the project and follows them across the Atlantic to Montevideo. However, before the last ships reached the Americas, harsh weather, disease, and the prospect of mutiny on the Patagonian coast forced the Crown to abandon the project. Eventually, the peasant colonists were resettled in towns outside of Buenos Aires and Montevideo, where they raised families, bought slaves, and gradually integrated into colonial society. Gendered Crossings brings to life the diverse settings of the Iberian Atlantic and the transformations in the peasants’ gendered experiences as they moved around the Spanish Empire.
