Abstract

In this paper, from the perspective of cultural studies, the text The Surprizing Adventures of John Roach, Mariner of Whitehaven (1784) by John Roach is studied. Thus, the representation of the indigenous as a subject is analyzed. To do this, the construction of the indigenous settlers of the Nicaraguan Caribbean coast is examined according to the vision of the colonizing narrator. Furthermore, the different manifestations of popular culture by the colonial subject are interpreted.
