The Friar and the Maya
The Friar and the Maya offers a full study and new translation of the Relación de las Cosas de Yucatán (Account of the Things of Yucatan) by a unique set of eminent scholars, created by them over more than a decade from the original manuscript held by the Real Academia de la Historia in Madrid. This critical and careful reading of the Account is long overdue in Maya studies and will forever change how this seminal text is understood and used. For generations, scholars used (and misused) the Account as the sole eyewitness insight into an ancient civilization. It is credited to the sixteenth-century Spanish Franciscan, monastic inquisitor, and bishop Diego de Landa, whose legacy is complex a...
Latina Teens, Migration, and Popular Culture
This richly ethnographic book explores the relationship between migration and popular culture through a case study of the consumption practices of working-class, transnational Latina teens. While everyday practices are examined at the local level, the processes of identity construction that Vargas seeks to address are akin to those created by diasporic youth around the world. The book is suitable for graduate and upper-level undergraduate courses in Latina/o communication studies and international/global communication. Scholars researching youth will also find the book of particular interest.
Simón Bolívar's Quest for Glory
Earning glory on the fields of battle, Simón Bolívar (1783–1830) was one of the most influential and enigmatic figures of Latin American history. Most North Americans know little of "the Liberator" who freed South America from Spanish rule from 1810 to 1826. Richard W. Slatta and Jane Lucas De Grummond bring forth the entire life and legacy of Simón Bolívar, with special attention to the ups and the downs of his military career in Bolívar's Quest for Glory. Bolívar's life contained all the makings of an epic war hero: repeated comebacks from defeat, flashes of military genius, tremendous mood swings, dogged persistence, a near-manic quest for glory, and fall from political grace. He ...

Cosmopolitanism in Mexican Visual Culture
Since the colonial era, Mexican art has emerged from an ongoing process of negotiation between the local and the global, which frequently involves invention, synthesis, and transformation of diverse discursive and artistic traditions. In this pathfinding book, María Fernández uses the concept of cosmopolitanism to explore this important aspect of Mexican art, in which visual culture and power relations unite the local and the global, the national and the international, the universal and the particular. She argues that in Mexico, as in other colonized regions, colonization constructed power dynamics and forms of violence that persisted in the independent nation-state. Accordingly, Fernánde...

Literatur und Unabhängigkeit
Die Studie schreibt eine transatlantische Kulturgeschichte der Beziehungen zwischen Europa und Hispanoamerika an der Schwelle vom 18. zum 19. Jahrhundert. Am Beispiel der beiden Hauptwerke des neuspanischen Dominikanermönchs fray Servando Teresa de Mier (1763-1827) untersucht sie, wie hispanoamerikanische Schriftsteller der Sattelzeit geographische, kulturelle, gattungstheoretische und diskursive Grenzregime überschritten und dadurch nicht nur die politische Unabhängigkeit der spanischen Kolonien in Hispanoamerika vorbereitet, sondern auch deren literarische Unabhängigkeit ins Werk gesetzt haben. Indem sie Miers Historia de la Revolución de Nueva España (1813) und seine sogenannten Mem...
