For more than three centuries it has united a people who have often been divided. Given the universality of the devotion, not just in Mexico but throughout the Catholic world, it is surprising to know that from the beginning the story of the Virgin Mary's appearances to the neophyte Indian Juan Diego has been the object of bitter controversy. In the late nineteenth century this centered on the authenticity of the tradition, sparked in part by the famous letter of the great Mexican historian Joaqu? Garc? Icazbalceta to the archbishop of Mexico, in which he listed his arguments against the tradition. From 1980 until 2002 the controversy centered on the canonization of Juan Diego and the doubts about his historical existence. \u003ci\u003eThe Guadalupan Controversies in Mexico\u003c\/i\u003e is the first comprehensive history of this interesting yet relatively unknown facet of Mexican social and religious history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stafford Poole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804752524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804752527\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.36h x 6.30w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2007 pg. 27","brand":"Stafford Poole","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926223978751,"sku":"9780804752527","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_144a1581-acda-4ba2-ae10-4742d6de8739.jpg?v=1681081886","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-guadalupan-controversies-in-mexico-stafford-poole-9780804752527","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
