• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In Politics of Temporalization, Nadia R. Altschul examines why, by whom, and to what ends certain populations, objects, and practices in nineteenth-century Ibero-America were named as living residues of the premodern Moorish past-and argues against this colonial temporalizing of "the now" as belonging to a constructed and othered "past."
