We are presented with a dynamic field full of tensions, contradictions—that is, alive—that have made it crucial for Latin American and Early Modern Studies, among others. From its inception to its recent connections to Latinx Studies, the writers deliver what the editors promise: a view into topics that have been the solid standard of the field, to new and promising areas. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWho is an author under colonial conditions of production? What a theory of the frontiers says about colonialism? What if behind the standard language of the archive one finds Quechua, English and Muisca? To whom does this archive belong then? These pages remind us that even though we know much, we have still much to discover and that perhaps we might never know fully. The contributions to theoretical analysis are also important since, as the contributors show, the colonial field helps elucidate key concepts such as what is licit, what is an archive, extraction, extinction, the environment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIvonne Del Valle, Associate Professor, UC Berkeley\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTensed by imperial designs, colonial violence, nationalist teleologies, colonial Latin American and Caribbean Studies is a multifaceted site of cultural and political interpellations and interventions that has made this contentious field one of the most productive intellectual traditions of the Global South, producing a rich array of critical concepts for the decolonization of culture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrategically organized in four overarching themes, \u003ci\u003eThe Routledge Hispanic Studies Companion to Colonial Latin America and the Caribbean (1492-1898) \u003c\/i\u003eshowcases the most progressive and innovative research in the field and draws the paths for an effective critical engagement with the traces of a colonial past that is far from settled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLuis Fernando Restrepo, University Professor, University of Arkansas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: between colonialism and coloniality: colonial Latin American and Caribbean studies today \u003cstrong\u003ePART I: Colonialism and Coloniality \u003c\/strong\u003e1.
