Reviews
"Buscaglia's Spanish-English edition of Siguenza y Gongora's greatest work is a magnificent illustration of what the fields of history and literature can offer when they are brought together. And it is fun to read, to boot! The text takes readers on a fascinating, whirlwind tour through the interlocking worlds of seventeenth-century Mexico and Southeast Asia." -- Camilla Townsend * author of Malintzin's Choices: An Indian Woman in the Conquest of Mexico *
"Buscaglia-Salgado's bilingual edition of Infortunios de Alonso Ramirez/The Misfortunes of Alonso Ramirez is an essential contribution. Multi-faceted and meticulously researched, it situates the story in the context of a global history of empires and piracy, opening new channels for further analysis and research. Deftly deciphering documents in colonial archives, questioning editorial practices, sketching maps, and revisiting his own sailing voyages, Buscaglia-Salgado has tracked Ramirez's routes, uncovering some of the mysteries surrounding the protagonist and making visible a global historical process." -- Arcadio Diaz-Quinones * Princeton University *
