Explores Mexico and its romance with the image as well as othe issues of Spanish colonialism.

Trade Review
“A magnificent study—already influential in its field. One gets a far richer sense of colonial Mexico in these pages than is offered by the kind of literary or cultural history that can only draw on a few scanty documents and verbal testimonials. This book speaks powerfully to our contemporary appetite for a renewal of our views of the colonial and postcolonial eras.”—Fredric Jameson
