Reviews
Dystopias of Infamy shows convincingly how the discourse and practices of insult shaped the cultural imagination, anxieties, and fantasies of early modern Iberia. The significance of Irigoyen-Garcia's study lies in an innovative approach that reveals infamy's resilience as much as its liabilities, its foreseeable victims as much as its unexpected mutations. Through the recuperation of little-known historical documents and incisive interpretation of well-established texts, this book provides fresh, nuanced insights into the social workings of both the dominant and marginalized in pre-modern Spain. --Paul Michael Johnson author of Affective Geographies: Cervantes, Emotion, and the Literary Mediterranean Extremely well-researched and well-written, Dystopias of Infamy is bound to be of interest not just to hispanists, but also to cultural anthropologists and scholars interested in issues of identity formation among both dominant and marginalized groups. --Anthony Cascardi Anthony Cascardi, author of Cervantes, Literature and the Discourse of Politics
