Reviews

“After Spanish Rule occupies the ground between Latin American exceptionalism and the so-called universalism of postcolonial studies. These essays enrich the field of postcolonial studies by bringing Latin American materials within its purview.”—Gyan Prakash, editor of After Colonialism: Imperial Histories and Postcolonial Displacements
