Jorge Téllez, Associate Professor of Romance Languages, University of Pennsylvania :
“Contemporary Colonialities in Mexico and Beyond proves the relevance of colonial Latin American studies as an interdisciplinary, theoretically sound, and far-reaching field in the humanities. The book does a great job at providing a clear and eloquent analysis of how colonialism remains deeply embedded in Mexican society, and how literature, film, and popular culture deal with the colonial structures and legacies that still govern social dynamics in the country.”

Mónica García Blizzard, Associate Professor of Spanish and Portuguese, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign:
“A nuanced and sophisticated contribution, this volume’s cohesive discussion centring on Mexico and its contact zones illuminates the manifold legacies of coloniality in contemporary culture. Through both hemispheric and transatlantic perspectives, as well as a stimulating assemblage of works both familiar and new, the book convincingly illustrates how imperial inflections of the past and present play a key role in structuring recent representations of Mexico, its people, and visitors.”
