  "Pathbreaking and provocative throughout, Nature, Empire, and Nation represents revisionist history at its best.The eight essays assembled here focus new attention on a much-neglected area of research: the place of both Spain and Spanish America in the history of early modern science and scientific thought.Cañizares-Esguerra's range of subjects is impressive,botany, cosmography, ecology, race, and more,but he addresses each in a lively, intelligent, and accessible manner.

  In How to Write the History of the New World, Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra offers a strikingly original and highly insightful analysis of a hitherto little-known intellectual battle waged on both sides of the Atlantic in the eighteenth century: the historiographical debates over the origins of the New World, and the "truth," validity, and cultural authority of various kinds of historical evidence employed in these debates.In the course of taking readers through the so-called dispute of the New World, the author establishes the existence of relatively sophisticated American-based discourses, centered in New Spain, pertaining to history, historiography, epistemology, and, ultimately, American identity.In so doing, he succeeds not only in complicating our view of intellectual life in New Spain during the late colonial period, but, more broadly, in challenging conventions and stereotypes about Latin America associated with and privileged by writers from the North Atlantic World.

  "In this bold and polemical work, Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra batters and cracks the historiographical walls that barricade the Puritan north and set it apart from the Iberian south.Puritans become Conquistadors and Conquistadors become Puritans, "the West" and "the Rest" is dissolved, "the Atlantic" rises to a global warming, and the flower gardens of the nation are flooded beyond repair... luminous and pathbreaking... the book takes on [its topic] with verve, deep scholarship, and imagination.Doctors and students everywhere will be challenged and enlightened by its pages, and for a wide community of scholars Atlantic history will never be the same.",American Historical Review
  
  "Puritan Conquistadors presents an imaginative, comparative history of ideas focused on early colonial religious themes in Spanish and British America... Reiterating his critique that U.S. historians have interpreted their colonial past in teleological terms, focused on the nation-state, and that Latin American(ist) historians have juxtaposed histories of failure in the southern continent with those of economic success and political power in the north, Cañizares-Esguerra challenges scholars in both fields to transcend these intellectual boundaries through paradigms that go beyond the global and the transnational in their understanding of the cultures of colonial America.",Journal of Interdisciplinary History
  ...
  Specialists will appreciate the breadth of research, and students will gain much from the clarity of its argument and elegance of its prose... In a gentle but insistent way, [Cañizares-Esguerra] again reminds us that there are important and deep-seated cultural connections among all European colonising powers that survive and transcend the agendas of centralising monarchies and their imperial agents.",Itinerario
