The Origin of the Catrina
"La Catrina" does not come from the Mexica.
It is a satire created by the cartoonist José Guadalupe Posada who, in times of Juarismo and the Porfiriato, mocked the mestizos and indigenous people who were rising in economic level and pretended to be Europeans and denied their own race, heritage and culture. They were called the "garbanceros", precisely because they dedicated themselves to the cultivation and sale of chickpeas.
Then José Guadalupe Posada created “La Calavera Garbancera” to express that the garbanceros walked “...in the bones, but with a French hat with its ostrich feathers”.
Diego Rivera renamed her "La Catrina", from the word "catrín", which derogatorily defined the upper social class, and eternalized her in his mural: "Dream of a Sunday afternoon in the Alameda Central", (the skull with its feather stole appears next to José Guadalupe Posada, Diego Rivera as a child and Frida Kahlo).
