The Fox and the Moon
The Fox and the Moon is a selection from the original El Zorro y la Luna, a compilation that included nearly all of José Antonio Mazzotti's poetry in Spanish. Mazzotti's poetry is multi-faceted and nuanced. Its style, in many ways, signals the evolution of Spanish American poetry from 1980s conversationalism to the neo-Baroque of the twenty-first century. José Antonio Mazzotti was born in Peru in 1961 and moved to the United States in 1988. He currently holds the King Felipe VI of Spain Professorship in Spanish Culture and Civilization at Tufts University in Boston. In 2018 he was awarded the prestigious José Lezama Lima Poetry Prize, from the Casa de las Américas in Cuba, for his El Zorro y la Luna (Salem and New York: Axiara Editions and Academia Norteamericana de la Lengua Española, 2016).

Sakra Boccata
Poetry. Translated from the Spanish by Clayton Eshleman. José Antonio Mazzotti's SAKRA BOCCATA is a book that in its brief sequence of twenty-eight poems--the number in a lunar cycle--displays one of the most revelatory poetries in contemporary Latin America. These poems enter into a dialogue with the grand saga of the literature of passion and with the multiple topoi and crossroads displayed by the theme of love in its affirmations and negations since the Song of Songs, on the one hand, and Sappho's fragments, on the other, over twenty-five hundred years of writing.--Raúl Zurita, from the Prologue
Creole Subjects in the Colonial Americas
Creolization describes the cultural adaptations that occur when a community moves to a new geographic setting. Exploring the consciousness of peoples defined as "creoles" who moved from the Old World to the New World, this collection of eighteen original essays investigates the creolization of literary forms and genres in the Americas between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. Creole Subjects in the Colonial Americas facilitates a cross-disciplinary, intrahemispheric, and Atlantic comparison of early settlers' colonialism and creole elites' relation to both indigenous peoples and imperial regimes. Contributors explore literatures written in Spanish, Portuguese, and English to identify c...

Approaches to Teaching the Works of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega
The author of Comentarios reales and La Florida del Inca, now recognized as key foundational works of Latin American literature and historiography, Inca Garcilaso de la Vega was born in 1539 in Cuzco, the son of a Spanish conquistador and an Incan princess, and later moved to Spain. Recalling the family stories and myths he had heard from his Quechua-speaking relatives during his youth and gathering information from friends who had remained in Peru, he created works that have come to indelibly shape our understanding of Incan history and administration. He also articulated a new American identity, which he called mestizo. This volume provides guidance on the translations of Garcilaso's writings and on the scholarly reception of his ideas. Instructors will discover ideas for teaching Garcilaso's works in relation to indigenous thought, European historiography, natural history, indigenous religion and Christianity, and Incan material culture. In essays informed by postcolonial and decolonial perspectives, scholars draw connections between Garcilaso's writings and contemporary issues like migration, multiculturalism, and indigenous rights.
The Creole Invention of Peru
"More than with Lima, this book deals with a specific social formation, the criollos or Creoles, particularly the beneméritos or descendants of conquistadors, whose study has almost always framed them as belonging to a colonial past that was supposedly erased and surpassed during the Republic. This study demonstrates that the Creoles who emerged from this situation developed strategies of survival and negotiation and many mental habits that are still present in Peru today. The first generations of Creoles created an ethnic identity that can be understood as 'national' only in the archaic and pre-Enlightenment sense of the word, without necessarily looking for independence from Spain, but with local patriotic aspirations. Thus, although this study speaks mostly about the past, it aims to explain the present and the flaws of a supposedly democratic, modern national state, still obedient to the interests of internal colonialism and the traditional Europoid ethnic prevalence in Peru. Among other merits, this book contributes to decolonial theory through the historical and cultural analysis of a dominant group"--

The Other Latinos
The Other Latinos addresses the presence in the U.S. of Latin American and Caribbean immigrants from countries other than Mexico, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. This introductory work focusing on the Andes, Central America, and Brazil will, the contributors hope, inspire a more complete understanding of Latin American migration into the U.S.
