Natives and Pilgrims

Abstract

As a starting point, the texts makes use of two complementary words: natives and pilgrims, to transit through two types of migration made by the Spaniards into Mexico in the 20^th century. The latter depicted within two diverse literary works: Oriundos by Fernando Fernández and the facsimile of the magazine España peregrina.

The text inspires to travel to and to think about a shared past, almost unknown at present, in which the duality migration-scape surrounds the relationship between Mexico and Spain during the 20^th century with the occasion of the anniversary of the 80 years of the Spanish exile as a cultural referent.
