And hate was stronger than love Private letters that were seized in the final repression of the Tupa Amaro movement (1782-1783)
Abstract
Transcription and analysis of a set of private letters, mainly love letters, which were seized from members of the Tupac Amaru family in the final repression of their uprising. It uncovers behind the scenes of the last months of the rebellion and the way two women in love responded to the difficult situation they lived through. A different version is given to María Mejía, the partner of Mariano Tupac Amaru, son of the leader José Gabriel, based on her own voice, and a very young Narcisa Castro, girlfriend of André Mendigure Tupac Amaru, author of some lyrical pages of undoubted interest for the study of love letters as a historical source, is presented.
