| Sumario: | "In Constructing the "Criollo" Archive, Antony Higgins brings to light the dynamic of knowledge and power that unfolds in the writings of the criollos of eighteenth-century New Spain and Guatemala Focusing on a period neglected by scholars, Higgins reconstructs how during the colonial period criollos - individuals identified as being of Spanish descent born in America - elaborated a body of knowledge, an "archive," in order to establish their intellectual autonomy within the Spanish colonial administrative structures." "This book opens up an important area of research that will be of interest to scholars and students of Spanish American colonial literature and history."--Jacket |
