In the Shadow of Cortés
Five hundred years ago, the army of conquest led by Hernan Cortés marched hundreds of miles across a rugged swath of land from Veracruz on the Mexican Caribbean to the capital city of the Aztecs, now Mexico City. This journey was the catalyst for profound cultural and political change in Mesoamerica. Today, many Mexicans view the Ruta de Cortés as a symbol of an event that forever changed the course of their history. But few U.S. Americans understand how the conquest still affects Mexicans’ national identity and their relationship with the United States. Following the route of Hernán Cortés, In the Shadow of Cortés offers a visual and cultural history of the legacy of contact between ...

The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel

Furthermore, post-Boom literature continues to garner interest, from the novels of Roberto Bolaño to the works of Cés...
Una amistad literaria
Esta obra epistolar muestra la cercana relación de dos grandes figuras de la cultura en México. A la par que se presentan las distintas inquietudes de ambos escritores, se muestra la relación de dos generaciones: la de Alfonso Reyes como el reformador de la educación y el arte después de la Revolución mexicana y la de José Luis Martínez como explorador para definir la identidad mexicana.

The Men of Cajamarca
In November 1532, a group of 168 Spaniards seized the Inca emperor Atahuallpa in the town of Cajamarca, in the northern Peruvian highlands. Their act, quickly taken as a symbol of the conquest of a vast empire, brought them unprecedented rewards in gold and silver; it made them celebrities, gave them first choice of positions of honor and power in the new Peru of the Spaniards, and opened up the possibility of a splendid life at home in Spain, if they so desired. Thus they became men of consequence, at the epicenter of a swift and irrevocable transformation of the Andean region. Yet before that memorable day in Cajamarca they had been quite unexceptional, a reasonable sampling of Spaniards o...
