Focused on a selection of texts drawn from the century after independence, Altschul explores how the (entwined) processes\/actions of medievalization and orientalization helped legitimize the region’s violent subordination by global capitalism during the nineteenth century…A masterful achievement, \u003ci\u003ePolitics of Temporalization\u003c\/i\u003e should become a paradigmatic must-read for students of the Iberian Atlantic and its intellectual history.\" * Bulletin of Spanish Studies *\u003cbr\u003e\"Nadia R. Altschul traces the mutating ways in which medieval and oriental temporalizations are used by Latin American thinkers from the late eighteenth through the nineteenth centuries to establish hegemonic understandings of their societies, particularly their inequalities and unevennesses. In so doing, Altschul makes an original and substantial contribution to Latin American and transatlantic studies. \u003ci\u003ePolitics of Temporalization\u003c\/i\u003e is exceptional.\" * Mary Louise Pratt, New York University *\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003ePolitics of Temporalization\u003c\/i\u003e is a truly exciting theoretical intervention. Nadia R. Altschul not only presents a rich case study but, more broadly, shows how temporalization and orientalization are always deployed, rather than inherent in their objects. Her scholarly range is phenomenal, and she elucidates important implications for how Latin America is perceived.\" * Barbara Fuchs, University of California, Los Angeles *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction.
