Dear R-LAC members,<\/p>\n

R-LAC is very excited to be co-hosting, alongside the Early Modern Research Centre (EMRC) and the Seminar on Race, Empire and Decoloniality the online book launch: Fernando Gomez Herrero (Salamanca), \u2018Do you take \u201ccolonial\u201d with your Early Modern?\u2019 The (Latin) American Scene, Present and Future (Im-)Perfect.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please join us\u00a0on 19 May at 13:00 (UK time)<\/strong>\u00a0to celebrate the publication of Dr Fernando Gomez Herrerro\u2019s new book,\u00a0The (Latin) American Scene, Present and Future (Im-)Perfect<\/em>\u00a0(Anthem Press, 2025) \u2013 for further information about the book, see\u00a0this 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,\u00a0The (Latin) American Scene\u00a0<\/em>proposes a focus on the American side, prioritizing the \u201ccolonial\u201d including its post\/de-colonial provocations. This presentation on the book, \u2018Do you take \u201ccolonial\u201d with your Early Modern?\u2019, 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\u00a0Good Places and Non-Places in Colonial Mexico: Vasco de Quiroga (1470-1565)<\/em>\u00a0(University Press of America, 2001).<\/p>\n

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