Special Lecture: ‘The New World: Eurocentric label or valid historical category?’
Is the “New World” little more than a totalizing, and even Eurocentric, label? José Moya discusses the diversity and gaps within the New World but also the shared traits that distinguish it from the rest of the world and impact the label with meaning as a valid historical category.

José Moya is professor of history and director of the Forum on Migration at Barnard College, Director of the Institute of Latin American Studies at Columbia University and Professor Emeritus at UCLA.
