As shadowy characters inspiring deep suspicion, fascination, and sometimes charity, they prompted a stream of decrees and administrative measures that treated them as nameless threats to good order and public morals. The vagabonds and impostors of colonial Mexico are as elusive in the written record as they were on the ground, and the administrative record offers little more than commonplaces about them. Fugitive Freedom locates two of these suspect strangers, Joseph Aguayo and Juan Atondo, both priest impersonators and petty villains in central Mexico during the last years of Spanish rule. Displacement brought picaros to the forefront of Spanish literature and popular culture-a protean assortment of low life characters, seen as treacherous but not usually violent, shadowed by poverty, on the move and on the make in selfish, sometimes clever ways as they navigated a hostile, sinful world. What to make of those aspects of the lives and longings of Aguayo and Atondo, which resemble one or another literary picaro? Did they imagine themselves in literary terms, as heroes of a certain kind of story? Could impostors like these have become fixtures in everyday life with neither a receptive audience nor permissive institutions? With Fugitive Freedom, William B. Taylor provides a rare opportunity to examine the social histories and inner lives of two individuals at the margins of an unfinished colonial order coming apart as it was coming together"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Aguayo y Herrera, Joseph Lucas, $d 1747- 600 10 $a Atondo, Juan, $d 1783?- 610 20 $a Catholic Church $z Mexico $x History $y 18th century. 610 27 $a Catholic Church. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00531720 650 0 $a Impostors and imposture $z Mexico $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Church and state $z Mexico $x History $y 18th century. 651 0 $a Mexico $x Church history $y 18th century. 650 7 $a Church and state. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00860509 650 7 $a Impostors and imposture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968230 651 7 $a Mexico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211700 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a Church history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411629 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Taylor, William B. $t Fugitive freedom $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2021] $z 9780520976146 $w (DLC) 2020025988 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024657.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=17F85496253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
