Inca Garcilaso and Contemporary World-Making by Sara Castroklarn

Inca Garcilaso and Contemporary World-Making by Sara Castroklarn

Offers new perspectives from leading scholars on the important work of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega (1539-1616), one of the first Latin American writers to present an intellectual analysis of pre-Columbian history and culture and the ensuing colonial period.

These essays bring Garcilaso into the modern world as still a relevant and bold writer

* North of Oxford *

An indispensable tool for scholars across disciplines, especially those interested in Latin American and indigenous pasts. It is also strongly recommended reading for early modern researchers focused on other languages, for they may not be familiar with Inca Garcilaso—an author that should definitely be part of their canon.

* Gustavo Verdesio, University of Michigan *

An excellent collection of essays on one of the first Latin American writers to elaborate a sophisticated reflection on the pre-Columbian past and the colonial experience in dialogue with Europe's Renaissance and classical cultural traditions. Each essay brings a new dimension to Garcilaso's texts, the importance and complexity of which are evident.

* Luis Fernando Restrepo, University of Arkansas *

With such promising ideas as these, scholars from across the humanities should find tis engaging, self-aware volume as fascinating as I have.

* Keith Howard, Florida State University *
