Beskrivning

Originally published in Mexico as Gobierno y Sociedad en Nueva Espana, Ethelia Ruiz Medrano's seminal study Reshaping New Spain is now available in an updated English edition.Drawing on extensive archival research, Ruiz examines the developing colonial institutions in Mexico and how they changed indigenous land ownership and labor laws to favor the new bureaucrats. This portrait of the emerging government in New Spain fills a critical niche in Latin American studies.

Recensioner i media

"... careful and abundantly documented, and tends above all to demonstrate the willingness of the Crown to allow substantial adjustments to policy by colonial officialdom, provided its essential jurisdiction was maintained.... Ruiz Medrano and the University Press of Colorado are to be congratulated for making her work accessible to an English-speaking readership....I will be asking my university library to order several copies of this important monograph."—Adrian Pearce, Journal of Latin American Studies
