Contemporary Colonialities in Mexico and Beyond explores the
changing dynamic of coloniality by focusing on how modern cultural
products connect to the foundational structures of colonialism. The
book examines how these structures have perpetuated discourses of
racial, ethnic, gender, and social exclusion rooted in Mexico’s
history. Given the intimate relationship between coloniality and
modernity, the volume addresses three central questions: How does
the Mexican colonial history influence the definition of Mexico
from within and outside its borders? What issues rooted in
coloniality recur over time and space? And finally, how do cultural
products provide a concrete and tangible way of studying
coloniality, its history, and its evolution? The book analyses how
literary works, movies, television series, and social media posts
reconfigure colonial difference and spatialization. Supported by
careful historical and cultural contextualization, these analyses
will allow readers to appreciate contemporary Mexico
vis-Ã -vis culture and borderland issues in the United States
and debates on imperial memory in Spain. Ultimately, Contemporary
Colonialities in Mexico and Beyond presents a handbook for readers
looking to learn more about coloniality as a pervasive part of
global interactions today.
