Sumario:The social place of the Creoles in the seventeenth century in the American colonies was a space of disputed legitimacy that imposed on the subjects a jealous care of honor in their social space. A set of Creole writings, in the most varied genres, are marked by the Hispanic grievances and underestimates to the man born in this land. In a memoir by Buenaventura de Salinas y Córdoba, Elena Altuna recognizes what she calls the "rhetoric of redress" and studies the arguments in defense of the dignity of man and the land in America, the resources and strategies that tend to establish equity between Creoles and metropolitans. Guided by the theoretical postulates of the scholar from Salta, we analyze in this work the textual operations through which don Luis de Tejeda defends his offended honor in his work.
