Animal spectacles are vital to a holistic appreciation of Spanish
culture. In Transoceanic Animals as Spectacle in Early Modern
Spain, Beusterien christens five previously unnamed animals, each
of which was a protagonist in a spectacle: Abada, the rhinoceros;
Hawa'i, the elephant; Fuleco, the armadillo; Jarama, the bull; and
Maghreb, the lion. In presenting and analyzing their stories,
Beusterien enriches our understanding of the role of animals in the
development of commercial theater in Spain and in the modern
bullfight. He also contributes to growing scholarly conversations
on the importance of Spain in the history of science by examining
how animal spectacles had profound repercussions on the emergence
of the modern zoo and natural history museum. Combining scholarly
content analysis and pedagogical sagacity, the book has a broad
appeal for scholars of the early modern Spanish Empire, animal
studies scholars, and secondary and postsecondary instructors
looking for engaging exercises and information for their Spanish
language, culture, and history students.
