CAB PEREZ, Fernando Jesús  and  MAY GONZALEZ, Ángel Omar. The eagle against the lion. Construction of the anti-Hispanic and Republican discourse in the Campeche press (1824-1831). Sig. his [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.43, pp.254-299.  Epub June 30, 2020. ISSN 1665-4420.

The main objective of this article is to continue promoting the use of the written press as a source to reconstruct historical thought in a specific place. In this case, the study is specific to the city and port of Campeche, when this was still a district of the state of Yucatán in the early years of independent Mexico. We set out to understand what the Campeche political class thought about the debate surrounding the anti-Hispanic campaigns undertaken in the nascent country, as well as their position regarding the adoption of the republican system of government through the written press (El Investigador, La Aguila Triunfante and El Mentor). It is very important for us the analysis of this period, because in the local historiography there are thematic gaps, just when the country took flight and we consider key that rescuing the local thought reflected in the newspapers mentioned, we contribute to understand the way it was built the nation-state from the periphery. Finally, we will discuss the structure and characteristics of the first Campechan rotaries.

Keywords : iconography; press; hispanidad; republic; independence; ideology.
