La Bruja Enamorada: Love Magic as a Form of Resistance in Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century Colonial Mexico Open Access
Velasco, Jalista (Spring 2022)
Abstract
This paper will focus on the complex and intersectional issues that characterize love magic in Colonial Mexico. The topics of gender, body, and race are key factors which will be examined through such lenses by means of early documents and case studies. In delving into love magic, the power of domesticity and intimacy in shaping the lives of Indigenous Women will become apparent. It will also reveal fascinating dynamics concerning the role of women in connection to colonial domination and a violent patriarchal society.
