Teach a conquistador's writings about his journeys in the AmericasIn 1527 Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca journeyed from Spain to Florida with the ill-fated Pánfilo de Narváez expedition—and ended up wandering by land for years with a small band of survivors before reaching Spanish outposts in modern-day Mexico. He later traveled to South America as an appointed provincial governor, only to be sent back to Spain in chains some years after his arrival. His written works describing his experiences provide insights into the lives of the indigenous peoples of the Americas and the attitudes of the Spanish conquistadores.This volume provides background about the texts and discusses new ways to teach them, challenging outdated readings that erase the violence of Spanish imperialism. Essays examine the role of the enslaved African Esteban in Cabeza de Vaca's account of the North American expedition, the indigenous and Spanish women who appear in the explorer's texts, Cabeza de Vaca's performance of multiple gender roles, and the reception of these works as examples of Chicano or Latin American literature. The volume also explores connections to archaeological findings and food studies.This volume contains discussion of Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca's Naufragios y comentarios, Bartolomé de las Casas's De Unico Vocationis Modo Omnium Gentium ad Veram Religionem, Haniel Long's The Marvellous Adventure of Cabeza de Vaca (1973), Abel Posse's El largo atardecer del caminante (1992), Leila Lalami's The Moor's Account (2015), Nicolás Echevarría's film Cabeza de Vaca (1989), Ettore DeGrazia's DeGrazia Paints Cabeza de Vaca (1973), Colin Matthews's The Great Journey (1988), Raúl Ayala Arellano's Cabeza de Vaca (2001), George Antheil and Allan Dowling's Cabeza de Vaca (1961), and Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy.

Un nuevo reino imaginado examina el entramado discursivo del proyecto político de las Elegías de varones ilustres de Indias (1589-1601), una historia de la conquista del Caribe y lo que es hoy Colombia, Panamá y Venezuela, escrita por el erudito literato, riguroso historiador y clérigo, Juan de Castellanos (Alanis, España 1522- Tunja 1607). El cronista-poeta usa el legado literario clásico y renacentista y un amplio acervo documental histórico para presentar a los primeros conquistadores como una élite marcial idónea, destinada a gobernar el Nuevo Reino de Granada y merecedora de las encomiendas y otros privilegios. En el poema, los conquistadores son héroes elaborados a través de una salvaje celebración de la destrucción de la América indígena, y sus esfuerzos en la conquista del territorio se presentan como una penosa peregrinación que sería rencompenzada con la tierra buena del altiplano andino. En últimas, las Elegías son la literatura de la guerra de la conquista, cuyos resultados dan cuenta en parte de las inequidades de la Colombia de hoy. Pero ¿cómo abordar críticamente una épica escrita con el dulce verso de La araucana y el Orlando furioso que justifica la violencia de la conquista? Para responder a esta pregunta, Luis Fernando Restrepo plantea en este trabajo cómo la crítica literaria permite abordar un colosal monumento literario, como este poema de la Colonia, para pensar el costo humano de los conflictos armados e imaginar una sociedad más justa.
