Resumen
ERASO JURADO, Mónica. Colonial mirrors: the criollos in the dispute of the social evil. Nómadas [online]. 2016, n.45, pp.141-151. ISSN 0121-7550.
This article inquires about the way American intellectuals understood the concept of race at the end of the XVIII Century. It specifically analyzes how Francisco Jose Clavigero, Antonio Sánchez-Valverde and Eugenio Espejo responded to Jean Astrucs claims that the Americas were the origin of social evil and to the somatic definitions created by Astruc's text. The article points out that the analogy of optical figures such as mirror, reflection and diffraction are useful when discussing the problem of coloniality.
