Don Catrín is three things at once: a rakish \u003ci\u003epícaro\u003c\/i\u003e in the tradition of the picaresque; a \u003ci\u003ecatrín\u003c\/i\u003e, a dandy or fop; and a \u003ci\u003ecriollo\u003c\/i\u003e, a person born in the New World and belonging to the same dominant class as their Spanish-born parents but relegated to a secondary status. The novel interrogates then current ideas about the supposed innateness of race and caste and plays with other aspects of the self considered more extrinsic, such as appearance and social disguise. While not directly mentioning the Mexican wars of independence, \u003ci\u003eDon Catrín\u003c\/i\u003e offers a vivid representation of the political and social frictions that burst into violence around 1810 and gave birth to the independent countries of Latin America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1603295348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781603295345\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Language Association of America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993380356351,"sku":"9781603295345","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4bbc2da-02c3-4b93-a8b3-c37455b04f2c.jpg?v=1683324024","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vida-y-hechos-del-famoso-jos-joaqun-fern-ndez-de-lizardi-9781603295345","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
