Please join us\u00a0on 19 May at 13:00 (UK time)<\/strong> to celebrate the publication of Dr Fernando Gomez Herrerro’s new book, The (Latin) American Scene, Present and Future (Im-)Perfect<\/em> (Anthem Press, 2025) – for further information about the book, see this interview on the Anthem Press website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If the Early Modern is typically restricted to Europe and its imperial expansion and the \u201ccolonial\u201d is part of the latter, The (Latin) American Scene <\/em>proposes a focus on the American side, prioritizing the “colonial” including its post\/de-colonial provocations. This presentation on the book, ‘Do you take “colonial” with your Early Modern?’, will illustrate some challenges, problems, troubles and dilemmas apropos historical studies of the Early Modern\/colonial Euro-Americas in university life in between geopolitics and popular cultures, including in the UK.<\/p>\n

Dr Fernando Gomez Herrero is currently Visiting Research Scholar at the Instituto de Iberoam\u00e9rica, University of Salamanca, Spain. He has taught mostly in the U.S. (Duke University, Stanford U, Pittsburgh U, Oberlin College, UMass, Boston, Boston College) and the U.K. (University of Birmingham, University of Manchester) in the last three decades. He is the author of Good Places and Non-Places in Colonial Mexico: Vasco de Quiroga (1470-1565)<\/em> (University Press of America, 2001).<\/p>\n

Anthem Press will make discount flyers available to attendees.<\/p>\n

We meet online on MS Teams: please sign up to our mailing list<\/a> or email emrc@reading.ac.uk<\/a> for the link.<\/p>\n

This event is hosted in collaboration with the Reading Latin America and the Caribbean Network<\/a> (R-LAC) and the Seminar on Race, Empire and Decoloniality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
