Resumo de El Indio Carapálida(the Carapálida Indian )

This book tries to give a little usual image us, but that
existed, of the Spanish colonizador imbuido by the culture
and indigenous way of life. It shows as some Spaniards
ended up to us being part of the indigenous society,
transforming itself thus into the carapálida Indian. The
author says to us that this phenomenon was many right:
between these it mentions, for example, the fact that many
of the conquerors were tránsfugas that had not reached
their ideal of life and total accomplishment in the Spanish
territory, was people relegated by the Spanish society of
their time, beings who saw in the lacking indigenous
society of the conventions of the Modern World a more
fertile land for their style of libertine life, of free
accomplishment and desire. The New World was something as
well as the indigenous paradise of the accomplishment of
its frustrated ideals and culture and custom the step
route. An interesting case of this phenomenon would be the
one of the Hieronymite clergyman of Aguilar, that was
submerged in the indigenous society long time, until
arriving at the point to be almost one of them (Chapter 1
of the book). Nevertheless, this it would be rescued by
Courteous Hernán and it would return to take control again
of his lost Spanish origin, although never it forgot his
indigenous learning. It was transformed into bridge
between both towns and is perhaps the first sample of the
character dúplice of a Latin American identity (it mixes of
the Spanish and the native). In addition the author says
to us: These Castilians, normally, never resigned to their
quality and condition of such, because "the Spaniards were,
significantly, less aculturados by the Indians who these by
the Spaniards". Yet, many had "to aindiar themselves" to
be able to survive in indigenous earth." (p 95). In
ahead, the book is in charge to show to us to the immersion
and continuous growth of several Spanish individuals that
knew to use better the average native. Some that used this
surroundings for the own development and of the community
in which they were, and not like a simple annihilation of
the Indian and the culture (thing that the other Spaniards
did who remained "to the other side"). The vision that
shows the book to us is interesting. This perspective of
the colonized colonizador did not know it until reading the
book. In other books "the other" is seen like inferior,
like a subject between the savage, in way towards the
human. In this book one is, on the contrary, that the type
of life of the indigenous era also another option, even for
the Spanish.
