Welcome from the Chair

I am honored to serve as chair of the Colonial Section for the term 2015-2016. My thanks to Ann de León for her exemplary work as chair (2014-2015) and to Clayton McCarl for serving as acting chair during the 2015 convention in Puerto Rico. The executive committee for 2015-2016 are: Mónica Díaz (vice-chair and chair of awards committee), Pablo García Loaeza (council member and secretary/treasurer), and Kelly McDonough and Ann de León (council members). The editorial staff for this newsletter are Pablo García Loaeza and Clayton McCarl, (co-editors); Alejandro Enríquez (assistant editor); Claudia Berríos, Chloe Ireton, and Mariana Velázquez (graduate student assistant editors); and Rocío Quispe-Agnoli (editorial advisor). I would like to thank them for their wonderful job. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Nathan James Gordon, University of Colorado Boulder, who coordinates our use of social media, and Caroline Egan, Stanford University, who manages our membership information and e-mail list.

I am happy to report that three new scholarly venues have been created since 2014 to recognize the work in our field: the Maureen Ahern Doctoral Dissertation Award in Colonial Latin American Studies (first awarded 2014); the prize for the Best Article in Colonial Latin American Studies by a Junior Scholar (first awarded 2015); and the Book Prize of the Colonial Section of the Latin American Studies Association (to be awarded in 2016; see call for nominations in this issue). I thank you for your financial support of these awards, which are vital to the graduate students and junior colleagues in the early stages of the profession. I would like to ask all members to continue to contribute. To do so, you may send a check in any amount to LASA, 416 Bellefield Hall, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15260, with “Colonial Section’s Awards Fund” on the memo line.

I am looking forward to working with all the section members on any idea or project they want to share with us.

Sincerely, Raúl Marrero-Fente

Note from the Outgoing Editor

This current issue of Colonia/Colônia marks the end of my tenure as general editor. With great pleasure, I hand over the editorship to Pablo García Loaeza. Pablo has played a central role in this newsletter from the beginning and has co-edited with me issues 3:3 and 3:4. I know that he will provide the leadership and creativity needed to make this publication an increasingly important forum for sharing ideas and promoting an interdisciplinary dialogue about the Latin American colonial world.

For the time being, I will continue as the communications manager of the section. In this role I will work with Nathan James Gordon and Caroline Egan, who manage our social media and our email communications, respectively.

In parting, I would like to extend my thanks to Pablo, Alejandro Enríquez, Rocío Quispe-Agnoli, Claudia Berríos, Chloe Ireton, and Mariana Velázquez for all they have done to make this newsletter a success. I would like to celebrate in particular the work being done on behalf of the Colonial Section by Caroline, Chloe, Claudia, Mariana and Nathan. They are all graduate students, and their energy, talent and enthusiasm speak very well for our group and the future of our field.

Sincerely, Clayton McCarl

González Undurraga, Carolina. 2014. Esclavos y esclavas demandando justicia. Chile 1740- 1823. Documentación judicial por carta de libertad y papel de venta. Santiago: Editorial Universitaria.

La esclavitud africana en la Capitanía General de Chile ha conocido un renovado interés en la historiografía chilena durante la última década. No obstante, quedan múltiples interrogantes por responder, así como una serie de temas y documentación por explorar. Una forma de acercarnos a lo anterior es recurrir a los testimonios de justicia de personas esclavizadas. Estos se encuentran en la documentación judicial conservada por el Archivo Nacional Histórico de Chile. En este volumen se han transcrito 50 autos de pedimento, pleitos o demandas por carta de libertad y papel de venta elevados ante foros de justicia de Santiago. More information.

Myers, Kathleen Ann. 2015. In the Shadow of Cortés: Conversations along the Route of Conquest. Translations by Pablo Garcia Loaeza and Grady C. Wray. Tucson: The University of Arizona Press.

Following the route of Hernán Cortés, this book offers a visual and cultural history of the legacy of contact between Spaniards and indigenous civilizations. Specialist in Mexican culture, Kathleen Ann Myers teams up with prize-winning translators and photographers to offer a reading experience that combines interpretative essays with translated interviews and historical and contemporary images. The result presents multiple perspectives on these pivotal events as imagined and re-envisioned today by Mexicans both in their homeland and in the United States. The book traces the conquest’s symbolic geography and shows how the historical memory of colonialism continues to shape lives today. More information.

The Holy Office of the Inquisition was established in Peru in 1570 and operated there until 1820. In this book, Ana Schaposchnik provides a deeply researched history of the Lima Tribunal, focusing on cases of persons put under trial for crypto-Judaism during the 1600s. Schaposchnik brings to light the experiences and perspectives of the prisoners in the cells and torture chambers, as well as regulations and institutional procedures. She looks closely at how the lives of the accused—and in some cases the circumstances of their deaths—were shaped by actions of the Inquisition on both sides of the Atlantic. More information.

The poster session addresses this common problem, allowing for considered dialogue and engaging interaction.
