Refugio González and Mexican Spiritist publishing

Record summary

Refugio González is cited in histories of Mexican nineteenth-century Spiritism as a writer, translator, and organizer connected with the movement’s print culture. His work provides a lead for studying the overlap and later differentiation among Spiritism, occultism, liberal anticlericalism, and esoteric publishing in Mexico. The relevant corpus may include periodical contributions, translations, and organizational records rather than one single canonical book. Researchers should identify authenticated editions and distinguish González’s Spiritist writings from later theosophical or occult classifications.
