Popis: In this study I examine the adaptation and transformation of indigenous myths and legends, particularly the La Llorona, La Malinche and the Virgin of Guadalupe myths, within the explosive Mexican American ethno-nationalist movement from the turbulent 1960s and thereafter. I posit that ethno-nationalist movements as well as nationalist movements arising from marginalized groups in a nation find folk traditions indispensable for political resistance and affirmation purposes as well as for literary production which I argue is an integral part of nationalist movements. V tej razpravi obravnavam prilagajanje in spreminjanje domacinskih mitov in legend, zlasti mitov o Lloroni (Jokajoci ženi), Malinche (ženi Marini) in Devici guadelupski, v vznesenem mehisko-ameriskem etnonacionalisticnem gibanju od razburkanih 60. let prejsnjega stoletja naprej. Ugotavljam, da etnonacionalisticna kakor tudi nacionalisticna gibanja zapostavljenih skupin v naciji najdejo v ljudskem izrocilu mocno oporo za politicni odpor in samouveljavitev, pa tudi za literarno produkcijo, ki jo razumem kot sestavino nacionalisticnih gibanj.
