About the Author

Anna More is a distinguished scholar of colonial Latin American literature and history, whose research illuminates the intricate intersections of power, identity, and cultural production in the early modern Americas. With a focus on creole archives and intellectual histories, she explores how colonial subjects navigated sovereignty and resistance through literary and archival practices. Her groundbreaking work, Baroque Sovereignty: Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora and the Creole Archive of Colonial Mexico, offers a nuanced reinterpretation of 17th-century Mexican texts, revealing the foundational role of indigenous and mestizo voices in shaping colonial narratives. More's scholarship bridges literary criticism and historical analysis, challenging Eurocentric views and enriching our understanding of the baroque as a site of subversive creativity. A professor at a leading university, she continues to influence debates on postcolonial theory and archival methodologies through her incisive publications and teaching.
