Misplaced Objects: Migrating Collections and Recollections in Europe and the Americas (Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long Series in Latin American and Latino Art and Culture)
"This book will make a significant contribution to more than one field. Conceptually, Spitta's model is an innovative one--she presents fresh historical perspectives on colonial phenomena and institutions ... while interweaving this material with contemporary institutional or cultural echoes. The result is that we not only learn more about the 'old' New World, but the 'new' New World as well... The scholarship underlying this project is wide-reaching and impressive." R. Tripp Evans, Associate Professor of American Art, Wheaton College, and author of Romancing the Maya: Mexican Antiquity in the American Imagination, 1820-1915
