This book tells the story of colonial Latin America through the lives of common people, helping students comprehend the triumphs and tragedies of daily life and its impact on the region's history.
Stretching from Mexico to Buenos Aires, from the Pacific coast across the Atlantic, from the first colonial invasions to independence, these stories knit together common themes. The narratives include a Mayan noblemen turned translator for a Spanish torturer, a Eurafrican woman healer accused of witchcraft, a missionary caught between native rebels and corrupt administrators, an Afro-Brazilian maroon leader trying to hold on to freedom, and a mestizo crown loyalist weary of independence under the new Creole elite. This new edition provides vital updates and tackles new topics:Kenneth J. Andrien is the Edmund J. and Louise W. Kahn Chair Emeritus in the History Department at Southern Methodist University, USA. He is the author and editor of numerous articles and nine books.
Cameron D. Jones is a Lecturer at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, USA. He is an award-winning author who has published numerous books, chapters, and articles on various regions of Latin America.
