The paperback of 'Festival Culture in the World of the Spanish Habsburgs' is out (Routledge, 2024) co-edited with Fernando Checa in 2015. It's lovely that the book is read and cited after a decade and that the publisher thought it merited a paperback edition. www.routledge.com/Festival-Cul...

Looking back, I'm really proud of this book. It was an extremely challenging experience to edit with a huge range of voices. We focused on colonial influences, epistemology, politics, archives, infrastructures, and communities. Available OA at The MIT Press. mitpress.mit.edu/978026253624...
