“These essays capture the emerging ambivalent claims of elite creole identities in the early modern Americas. Acknowledging difference between colonial cultures of northern and southern European origins, they illuminate key common themes and continuities and set the stage for a new generation of Atlantic studies.”

“Scholars in comparative colonial and hemispheric studies will welcome this collection. Rigorously researched and strongly interdisciplinary, its essays explore the importance of spectacle, performance, and visual culture, the instrumentalism of religious piety, the complexities of imperial and local power structures, and challenges to the prevailing conflation of criollismo and elite culture.”
