Abstract

Editor's Note Joshua Piker This issue of the William and Mary Quarterly is entitled "Colonial Roots/Routes in North America and Latin America" and is jointly published with the Hispanic American Historical Review. The joint issue consists of an introductory essay by Camilla Townsend and eight articles, three of which are published in HAHR and five in WMQ. The introduction appears in both journals. More specifically, in this issue, you will find articles by Jack Bouchard, Joaquín Rivaya-Martínez, Margaret Ellen Newell, Matt D. Childs, and Nancy E. van Deusen, along with Townsend's introductory essay. The other articles will appear in May 2023's issue of HAHR (volume 103, number 2): The Echo of Voices after the Fall of the Aztec Empire Alex Hidalgo Two Bigamists in Tehuantepec: Global(ized) Itineraries in Southern Mesoamerica, circa 1600 Laura Matthew "Betwixt Ye Two Rivers": Trafficking and Colonization in Early Seventeenth-Century Saint Christopher Casey Schmitt I am grateful to the participants in the joint issue for their commitment to this project, which began before COVID-19, was powerfully shaped by the pandemic, and is being published two years later than anyone involved initially envisioned. I thank the authors for their patience and hard work in difficult circumstances, and I thank the peer reviewers for taking on assignments at a moment when no one needed another thing to worry about. I am particularly grateful to Martha Few and her colleagues at HAHR, for being such exemplary partners in this project; to Ryan Kashanipour, for insisting that Martha and I would have a lot to talk about and setting up a meeting for us at the 2017 Southwest Seminar; and to the organizers of the 2019 American Society for Ethnohistory Annual Meeting at Pennsylvania State University, for allowing us to devote three linked panels to the conversation that became this joint issue.
