Curas ilustrados y con hijos, boticarios de pueblo, músicos, licenciados,
notarios, pequeños comerciantes, administradores de correos, soldados que nunca habÃan hecho guerras, un arsenal de una docena de lanzas: una conspiración que parecÃa condenada al fracaso, repleta de indecisos y rodeada por traidores.
Cada uno puede celebrar la Independencia a su gusto: a Paco Ignacio Taibo ii le atrae la idea de reconstruir nuestro santoral laico, recuperar abuelitos alucinados en guerra de hombres libres, humanizar personajes, difundir rumores, contar anécdotas. Acercar el pasado para poder tocarlo. Quizá sea el momento de decir: Viva el cura Hidalgo y sus amigos! Vivan los héroes que nos dieron patria! Sus fantasmas siguen entre nosotros .
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 55 Vignettes of the War of Independence
Enlightened priests with children, village pharmacists, musicians, graduates, notaries, small merchants, post office administrators, soldiers who had never fought wars, an arsenal of a dozen spears: a conspiracy that seemed doomed to failure, full of the undecided and surrounded by traitors.
Everyone can celebrate Independence in their own way: Paco Ignacio Taibo II is drawn to the idea of reconstructing our secular hagiography, recovering grandfathers hallucinating in a war of free men, humanizing characters, spreading rumors, telling anecdotes. Bringing the past closer so we can touch it. Perhaps it is time to say: Long live Father Hidalgo and his friends! Long live the heroes who gave us a homeland! Their ghosts are still among us.
