Coded encounters writing, gender, and ethnicity in colonial Latin America by Cevallos Candau, Francisco J
Call Number: http://www.netLibrary.com/urlapi.asp?action=summary&v=1&bookid=22369
ISBN: 0585200807
Much has been written about the ways in which Columbus's "discovery" of America began a process of inventing a new world in European consciousness. But far less has been published about those on the margins of the dominant European discourse - Amerindians, Africans, and women - whose experience is reflected in documents written during the early years of European rule in Latin America. This volume brings together essays by leading scholars of colonial Latin America who address a series of topics relating to both the marginal and European-dominant discourses.

As of 2019, Google Books contained over 40 million scanned books. Many from before 1925 are available full-text.
