Kearney Testimonios Women ab: 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. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of the Early Republic is the property of University of North Carolina Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
