This book has a special place in my heart as Victor Villanueva has been a mentor of mine throughout my scholarly pursuits, and so I had glad to see that his friends and colleagues put together this collection in his honor.

Memoria: Essays in Honor of Victor Villanueva is a collection of essays that contextualize his scholarly contribution to the field and also offer accounts of how his teaching and mentorship informed thinking and writing and even transformed lives. Victor has clearly touched the lives of many, and I am so grateful to be among the group of people who have learned from him.
