TUESDAY MARCH 25th @ 5pm
Interpreting Spanish Colonialism: Empires, Nations, and Legends

Co-editors Christopher Schmidt-Nowara
and John Nieto-Phillips will make a special
appearance for a book signing and discussion on
Saturday, February 25th from 5-6 PM at Garcia Street
Books.
Interpreting Spanish Colonialism: Empires,
Nations, and Legends (University of New Mexico
Press, $32.95 paperback) offers a compelling
examination of how historians in Spain and the
> Americas have come to understand and write about the
Spanish colonial past and its meanings for national
presents. Working from a transnational perspective,
the book brings together scholars from Spain, Latin
America, the Caribbean, and the United States to
retrace the link between historiography and
nation-building in the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. It also explores how and why Spain and
its colonies came to be depicted as "backward" and
"marginal" to other European and U.S. "modern"
regimes.
