The Routledge Hispanic Studies Companion to Colonial Latin America
and the Caribbean (1492-1898) brings together an international team
of scholars to explore new interdisciplinary and comparative
approaches for the study of colonialism. Using four overarching
themes, the volume examines a wide array of critical issues, key
texts, and figures that demonstrate the significance of Colonial
Latin America and the Caribbean across national and regional
traditions and historical periods. This invaluable resource will be
of interest to students and scholars of Spanish and Latin American
studies examining colonial Caribbean and Latin America at the
intersection of cultural and historical studies; transatlantic,
postcolonial and decolonial studies; and critical approaches to
archives and materiality. This timely volume assesses the impact
and legacy of colonialism and coloniality.

Through a collection of critical essays, this work explores twelve
keywords central in Latin American and Caribbean Studies:
indigenismo, Americanism, colonialism, criollismo, race,
transculturation, modernity, nation, gender, sexuality, testimonio,
and popular culture. The central question motivating this work is
how to think-epistemologically and pedagogically-about Latin
American and Caribbean Studies as fields that have had different
historical and institutional trajectories across the Caribbean,
Latin America, and the United States.
Contemporary Archipelagic Thinking takes as point of departure the
insights of Antonio Benitez Rojo, Derek Walcott and Edouard
Glissant on how to conceptualize the Caribbean as a space in which
networks of islands are constitutive of a particular epistemology
or way of thinking. This rich volume takes questions that have
explored the Caribbean and expands them to a global, Anthropocenic
framework. This anthology explores the archipelagic as both a
specific and a generalizable geo-historical and cultural formation,
occurring across various planetary spaces including: the
Mediterranean and Aegean Seas, the Caribbean basin, the Malay
archipelago, Oceania, and the creole islands of the Indian Ocean.
As an alternative geo-formal unit, archipelagoes can interrogate
epistemologies, ways of reading and thinking, and methodologies
informed implicitly or explicitly by more continental paradigms and
perspectives. Keeping in mind the structuring tension between land
and water, and between island and mainland relations, the
archipelagic focuses on the types of relations that emerge, island
to island, when island groups are seen not so much as sites of
exploration, identity, sociopolitical formation, and economic and
cultural circulation, but also, and rather, as models. The book
includes 21 chapters, a series of poems and an Afterword from both
senior and junior scholars in American Studies, Archaelogy,
Biology, Cartography, Digital Mapping, Enviromental Studies,
Ethnomusicology, Geography, History, Politics, Comparative Literary
and Cultural Studies, and Sociology who engage with Archipelago
studies. Archipelagic Studies has become a framework with a robust
intellectual genealogy.. The particular strength of this handbook
is the diversity of fields and theoretical approaches in the
Humanities, Social Sciences and Natural Sciences that the included
essays engage with. There is an editor's introduction in which they
meditate about the specific contributions of the archipelagic
framework in interdisciplinary analyses of multi-focal and
transnational socio-political and cultural context, and in which
they establish a dialogue between archipelagic thinking and network
theory, assemblages, systems theory, or the study of islands,
oceans and constellations.
Focusing on piracy in the seventeenth century, filibustering in the
nineteenth century, intracolonial migrations in the 1930s,
metropolitan racializations in the 1950s and 1960s, and feminist
redefinitions of creolization and sexile from the 1940s to the
1990s, this book redefines the Caribbean beyond the postcolonial
debate.

From Caitlyn Jenner to Laverne Cox, transgender people have rapidly
gained public visibility, contesting many basic assumptions about
what gender and embodiment mean. The vibrant discipline of Trans
Studies explores such challenges in depth, building on the insights
of queer and feminist theory to raise provocative questions about
the relationships among gender, sexuality, and accepted social
norms. Trans Studies is an interdisciplinary essay collection,
bringing together leading experts in this burgeoning field and
offering insights about how transgender activism and scholarship
might transform scholarship and public policy. Taking an
intersectional approach, this theoretically sophisticated book
deeply grounded in real-world concerns bridges the gaps between
activism and academia by offering examples of cutting-edge
activism, research, and pedagogy.
