"""Epics of Empire and Frontier constitutes a valuable addition to the growing corpus of Spanish colonial epics studies that has enabled scholars to revise the history of colonialism in the Americas. Celia López-Chávez does a superior job of teasing from these literary texts a detailed account of historical events from the Spanish point of view, and offering a postcolonial critique of those events.""--Raúl Marrero-Fente, author of Epic, Empire, and Community in the Atlantic World ""In this first book-length comparison of Alonso de Ercilla's La Araucana and Gaspar de Villagrá's Historia de la nueva México--two important epic poems--Celia López-Chávez offers an original reading and interpretation and makes a commendable effort to relate past to present.""--Manuel M. Martín-Rodríguez, editor of With a Book in Their Hands: Chicano/a Readers and Readerships across the Centuries"
