Descripción
Sumario:This work is a brief overview of the conflicts between political and ecclesiastical structures in Mexico, generated by the enforcement of Cadiz principles for book censorship during Agustín de Iturbide government, 1821-1823. Works about curia’s political rapprochement to the Iturbide regime are well known. I suggest that uneasiness and measures taken by these two powers in dealing with obscene literature circulation and prohibition are worth considering too.
