description On November 8, 2013 has been set as the "day of the Afro-Argentine y of African culture" in memory of the death of a fighter of the War of Independence, Maria Remedios del Valle, known as "The Captain" "Mother of the Nation" and "Ayohuma Girl". The significance of this figure challenges us to analyze his career as a "Meritorious of the Patria". It is first to examine what were the various actions carried out by this brave woman in the revolutionary military campaigns that would have provided him a symbolic place of respectability and acceptability. Secondly, it is a priority to reconstruct the historiographical looks views regarding this trajectory: when and how Maria Remedios was incorporated into the patriotic narrative and how it was resignifying over time. Finally, it implies invariably explore the representations linked to María Remedios - textual, iconic and political-with the intention to continue examining the places successively occupied in the national imagination men and women of African descent.
