A Country of Shepherds
This book draws on the life stories told by shepherds, farmers, and their families in the Andalusian region in Spain to sketch out the landscapes, actions, and challenges of people who work in pastoralism. Their narratives highlight how local practices interact with regional and European communities and policies, and they help us see a broader role for extensive grazing practices and sustainability.
Transhumance, Diversification, and New Collaborations
This chapter highlights two key issues in pastoralism today: land usage and generational turnover; examined through the case study of Fortunato Guerrero Lara, a shepherd and land-rights leader who straddles tradition and innovation. Our author talks with three generations of shepherds, as well as “one of the few conscientious landowners” in Andalusia. We see two men who have distinctly different lifestyles and personalities united by a shared pas…

The Representation of New World Phenomena
An Archeology of Mexican Modernity
Cultural analysts have noted similarities between Alfonso Cuarón’s Colonia Roma and José Emilio Pacheco’s Colonia Roma, depicted twenty years earlier in his best-selling novel Las batallas en el desierto (1981). But no one has examined how Pacheco’s work studies the emerging relationship between modernization and the racialization of space, which Cuarón’s film Roma later captured for a global audience. Pacheco’s depictions of a spatialized intera…

Fernández de Oviedo's Chronicle of America
Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo (1478-1557) wrote the first comprehensive history of Spanish America, the Historia general y natural de las Indias, a sprawling, constantly revised work in which Oviedo attempted nothing less than a complete account of the Spanish discovery, conquest, and colonization of the Americas from 1492 to 1547, along with descriptions of the land's flora, fauna, and indigenous peoples. His Historia, which grew to an astounding …
Wild Country out in the Garden
Women's Spiritual Autobiography in Colonial Spanish America
In many ways 1999 was the year of the “boom” for contextualizing studies of early modern Spanish and Spanish American religious women’s writings. As the millennium came to a close, a handful of books were published that examined the interface between period institutional codes and groups of women writers. Until recently, monograph studies of single authors or anthologies had characterized the field. Kristine Ibsen’s Women’s Spiritual Autobiograph…

Broader Canon, Interdisciplinary Approaches
Gone are the days when colonial Latin American literature was studied primarily as a series of cr6nicas that "men of action" (and mostly Spanish descent) wrote using contemporary literary constructs
A Glimpse of Family Life in Colonial Mexico
As interest grows in examining women's lives and writings in colonial Latin America, the autobiographical accounts written by scores of nuns during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries have been undergoing a reevaluation by historians and literary critics alike. Studies of the literary production and the circumstances surrounding the life of the most famous nun of the period, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1651-1695), have long been in vogue, but…
History, Truth and Dialogue
Fernandez de Oviedo's concept of the making of history figures is one of the distinguishing characteristics of his Historia general y natural de las Indias (1535, 1547, 1557). Living in the geographical and chronological center of the Spanish Conquest of the New World, Oviedo, as Charles V's official Court Chronicler, recorded the momentous events of the Spanish encounter with the New World as they occurred.1 History was being made by the Spaniar…
