Recenzii

"This book will become a landmark in the study of colonial Latin America, not just the literature but the entire culture, including most specially politics. More proves, with theoretical and scholarly authority, that a creole archive emerged in seventeenth-century Mexico, that it incorporated in complex ways the pre-Hispanic past, and that the chief keeper of the archive was Carlos de Siguenza y Gongora."-Roberto Gonzalez Echevarria, Yale University
