Many scholars have provided glimpses into religious women’s daily lives and expressions of resistance against power (usually male ecclesiastical authorities).This attention has resulted in a significant amount of studies of religious women’s writings in the last thirty years, and new approaches are needed to expand the canon of this subgenre. In this scholarly context, Mónica Díaz’s book offers new ways to read “conventual writing” at the same time that she reflects about theoretical notions that need reformulation within this genre in at least two directions in literary studies. First, Díaz approaches conventual writing considering both transatlantic and hemispheric studies that question traditional borders of twentieth-century academic knowledge. Second, Díaz’s overall scholarship examines issues of ethnicity and the fluidity of key concepts such as gender roles and identity, while looking into the feminine perception of the world as well as the construction of sources of knowledge by female subjects.

I contend that the documentation produced by native elites related to the indigenous schools (colegios), convents, and seminaries during the eighteenth century provides an important context for understanding the ways in which knowledge circulated between natives, creoles, and Europe-ans. In addition, when this " indigenous archive " is read in tandem with more traditional historiographical native sources, we can better appreciate the indigenous roots of the dominant narrative of Mexican nationalism. To illustrate the state of fragmentation of what I call an indigenous archive, I discuss the state of the archives of the Jesuit Colegio de San Gregorio and the Franciscan Convent of Corpus Christi.
