Cotton Mather's Spanish Lessons. A Story of Language, Race, and Belonging in the Early Americas, Hardback/Kirsten Silva Gruesz

In 1699, Cotton Mather authored the first Spanish-language text in the English New World: a religious tract aimed at evangelizing readers across the Spanish Americas. Kirsten Silva Gruesz uses Mather's text to explore complex overlaps of race, ethnicity, and language in the early Americas, which continue to govern Latina/o/x belonging today.
