Mxicos Nobodies examines two key figures in Mexican history that have remained anonymous despite their proliferation in the arts: the soldadera and the figure of the mulata. B. Christine Arce unravels the stunning paradox evident in the simultaneous erasure (in official circles) and ongoing fascination (in the popular imagination) with the nameless people who both define and fall outside of traditional norms of national identity. Th traces the legacy of these extraordinary figures in popular histories and legends, the Inquisition, ballads such as "La Adelita" and "La Cucaracha," iconic performers like Toa la Negra, and musical genres such as the son jarocho and danzn. This study is the first of its kind to draw attention to arts crucial role in bearing witness to the rich heritage of blacks and women in contemporary Mxico.
