Sumario:In this paper I attempt a few things. First, to understand the reasons behind Uruguay’s and Uruguayans’ lack of interest in both the colonial era and indigenous issues. Second, I seek to explore the theoretical and crtical potential of two constructs: coloniality of power and settler colonialism. The idea is to inquire about their reach and limitations without having to choose between the two. Third, I offer a history, and advance an assessment of, the so-called "New Paradigm" in colonial Latin American studies originated in literature and language programs in the USA. At the end of the paper I propose possible ways to further the changes that said paradigm brought to the field of colonial Latin American studies.
