Transatlantic Studies: Latin America, Iberia, and Africa emerges from, and performs, an ongoing debate concerning the role of transatlantic approaches in the fields of Iberian, Latin American, African, and Luso-Brazilian studies. The innovative research and discussions contained in this volume’s 35 essays by leading scholars in the field reframe the intertwined cultural histories of the diverse transnational spaces encompassed by the former Spanish and Portuguese empires. An emerging field, Transatlantic Studies seeks to provoke a discussion and a reconfiguration of the traditional academic notions of area studies, while critically engaging the concepts of national cultures and postcolonial relations among Spain, Portugal and their former colonies. Crucially, Transatlantic Studies transgresses national boundaries without dehistoricizing or decontextualizing the texts it seeks to incorporate within this new framework.

Reviews
'This volume is, without a doubt, the first attempt to fully
theorize the disciplinary practices associated with the umbrella
term “transatlantic studies”. Furthermore, it promises to
provincialize, once and for all, Iberian Studies as well as to open
Latin American Studies to a more radical and cosmopolitan critical
practice.'
Luis Martín-Cabrera, UC San Diego
