"The research value of this work needs little explication. These dissertations contain an enormous amount of original knowledge, only a portion of which has found its way into print. . . . Those of us working in Iberian or Latin American history owe the author a large thanks for making this material more accessible."NEW MEXICO HISTORICAL REVIEW

This collection of historical, philosophical, sociopolitical, and literary essays examines the linkages between the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America.

This book emerges from, and performs, an ongoing debate about transatlantic approaches in the fields of Iberian, Latin American, African, and Luso-Brazilian studies. In thirty-five short essays, leading scholars reframe the intertwined cultural histories of the transnational spaces encompassed by the former Spanish and Portuguese empires.
