Book Synopsis
Exploring the many different contact points between Iberian colonialism and indigenous cultures, this book features contributors who identify the crucial parameters of language evolution that have led to today's state of linguistic diversity in Latin America.

Trade Review
"Together the chapters in this book give a well-thought-out overview of the complexity of the social ecologies and linguistic development within Latin America, of the differences between the Portuguese and the Spanish empires, and of those within the Spanish viceroyalties. With this volume, Mufwene brings to English-language readers the missing piece in the discussion of language ecologies in excolonial regions." (Anna Maria Escobar, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)"
