Resumen
This text: proposes to read the Mexican writer Angelina Muniz-Hubeman's work as a quotation of the Spanish literary and cultural tradition in its sephardic version. Here the classical genders of nun's autobiographies, travel diaries, picaresque novels and allegoric stories have Jewish people expelled by the Inquisition as their main characters. The exile suffered by Spanish Jews appears entangled with the political exile of the Spanish Republicans to Mexico after the Civil War. The literary texts from this author form a palimpsest of Jewish migrant voices, that constitute a diasporic history whose memory is embedded in Spain.
