Insisting on the critical value of Latin American histories for
recasting theories of postcolonialism, After Spanish Rule is the
first collection of essays by Latin Americanist historians and
anthropologists to engage postcolonial debates from the perspective
of the Americas. These essays extend and revise the insights of
postcolonial studies in diverse Latin American contexts, ranging
from the narratives of eighteenth-century travelers and clerics in
the region to the status of indigenous intellectuals in present-day
Colombia. The editors argue that the construction of an array of
singular histories at the intersection of particular colonialisms
and nationalisms must become the critical project of postcolonial
history-writing. Challenging the universalizing tendencies of
postcolonial theory as it has developed in the Anglophone academy,
the contributors are attentive to the crucial ways in which the
histories of Latin American countries-with their creole elites,
hybrid middle classes, subordinated ethnic groups, and complicated
historical relationships with Spain and the United States-differ
from those of other former colonies in the southern hemisphere.
Yet, while acknowledging such differences, the volume suggests a
host of provocative, critical connections to colonial and
postcolonial histories around the world. Contributors Thomas
