Sefardismo y ficción fundacional: La hija del judío de Justo Sierra O’Reilly.
La hija del judío (1848), Mexico’s first historical novel, was an attempt to rewrite the colonial past of the Yucatan in order to provide a foundational text for the ephemeral Republic of Yucatan (1841–1848). Sierra O’Reilly decided to ignore the Indigenous people of the peninsula and instead took t...

Sierra O’Reilly decided to ignore the Indigenous people of the peninsula and instead took the Jewish subject as the ‘other’ of his story. This choice followed a tradition of European historical novels that took the expulsion of Sephardic Jews from Spain in the fifteenth century as a comparative model to define the national attitude towards minorities. In this essay, I explain how La hija del judío uses the Spanish Jew as a way to reimagine the national myth and reinterpret the peninsula’s history in order to create a national utopia that excluded Jews. La hija del judío (1848), primera novela histórica mexicana, fue un intento por re-escribir el pasado colonial yucateco y dotar a la efímera República de Yucatán (1841–1848) de un texto fundacional. Sierra O’Reilly decidió ignorar la presencia indígena de la península y optó por utilizar al sujeto judío como el ‘otro’ de su historia. Esta elección se alineó con toda una tradición de novelas históricas europeas que utilizaban la expulsión de los judíos sefarditas de España a finales del siglo XV como modelo de comparación para definir la actitud nacional frente a las minorías. En este ensayo, explico de qué manera La hija del judío utiliza al sujeto judeo–español como un medio para re-imaginar el mito nacional y para re-interpretar la historia de la península yucateca con vistas a una utopía nacional de la cual los propios judíos estuvieron excluidos. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Literary Criticism src: R language: Spanish refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Bulletin of Hispanic Studies (1475-3839) is published by Liverpool University Press, and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without Liverpool University Press's express written copyright permission.
