Abstract

Abstract:This article examines California Spanish-Mexican and Indigenous women’s counternarratives and critiques of U.S. geopolitical conquest in the former Catholic Spanish and Mexican northwest. California women’s testimonios (oral accounts) and written observations in the nineteenth century repudiated the notion that the West under Spanish and Mexican rule had not already undergone imperial projects of cultural civilization and political progress. They questioned the validity of Anglo assertions of cultural superiority, honor, and progress. While their testimonies reveal parallels between Anglo and Spanish-Mexican aims in colonizing California, these women offer unique perspectives of geopolitical conquest in the age of Manifest Destiny and U.S. imperialism. Furthermore, their accounts directly challenge Anglo American women’s hagiographies of U.S. military men’s exploits in California.
来自加利福尼亚的声音:西班牙-墨西哥和土著妇女对帝国和天命的干预
摘要:本文研究了加利福尼亚西班牙-墨西哥和土著妇女对美国在前天主教西班牙和墨西哥西北部地缘政治征服的反叙述和批判。19 世纪加利福尼亚妇女的证词(口述)和书面观察否定了西班牙和墨西哥统治下的西部尚未经历帝国文化文明和政治进步项目的说法。他们质疑盎格鲁人关于文化优越性、荣誉和进步的论断的有效性。她们的证词揭示了盎格鲁人和西班牙-墨西哥人殖民加利福尼亚的目的相似之处,同时,这些妇女对 "天命 "和美帝国主义时代的地缘政治征服提供了独特的视角。此外,她们的叙述直接挑战了英裔美国妇女对美军男子在加利福尼亚的功绩的颂扬。
