From her life during the Spanish conquest of the Americas in the early sixteenth century, through the Mexican Revolution in 1910 and the rise of the Chicana feminist movement in the 1980s and 90s, Malintzin/La Malinche/Doña Marina has been exchanged by many hands and weaved through many tales.

​

Malintzin left no self-authored records behind, but she lives through literature and legacies borne from Mexico's history and its diaspora. This website explores and reckons with the portrayals, exploitations, reworkings, and revivals of La Malinche through time, in an attempt to learn parts of Mexican history and identities of Mexican people in relation to conquest, gender, indigeneity, and migration.
