Description
Summary:This study focuses on the historical discourse in 4 books by Justo Sierra O ́Reilly, Serapio Baqueiro and Eligio Ancona. leading historians in the XIX centuryo Yucatan Peninsula. We aim to understand the use of the adjective bárbaro (“barbarian”), to refer to native Mayan people partaking in The Caste War, a conflict that developed in the Yucatan. Thisanalysis is performed within the historiographical methodology to account for the fact that the comunicable reality about the native Maya, described as barbarian, is the main connotation identifying this population as outcasts with respect to the sociopolitical and cultural norms of their time.
