| Resumen: | This is a study of the presence of Mexico in the prose and poetry of Gabriela Mistral, who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1945. She was invited from Chile, her native country, to Mexico by Jose Vasconcelos. As Secretary of Education, he sought her participation in the Reforma Educativa which not only established the new educational system accessible to all social classes and regions but also influenced educational norms in the United States and Latin America. She arrived in Mexico in 1922, the same year her first book of poems was published by the Hispanic Institute in New York City. Her poetic vision of Mexico was forged between 1922 and 1924 during the brilliant intellectual period following the Revolution. By examining her Mexican themes which cover the indigenous cultures, Hispanic roots, mestizaje, folk art and the dramatic landscape as well as her sketches of Mexican personages which range from a colonial friar, Fray Bartolome de las Casas, to a revolutionary president, Alvaro Obregon, and from the famous baroque poet Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, to an obscure rural schoolteacher, Lolita Arriaga, we can establish that hers was not an objective description, but rather a poetic vision growing out of her love of this country. |
