Mines of Silver and Gold in the Americas
La plata del Rey y de sus vasallos
It has been a long time since colonial Mexican mining has received the diligent attention it receives in this work. Jaime J. Lacueva Muñoz has delved into treasury records (mainly in the Contaduría section of the Archivo General de Indias, but also in Zacatecas) and administrative papers in the same archive (from the Audiencias of Mexico City and Guadalajara) to produce a book that offers two major sets of findings.The first will be of most gener…
David J. Weber (1940 – 2010)
David J. Weber was born on December 20, 1940, in Buffalo, New York. He died on August 20, 2010, in a hospital in Gallup, New Mexico, to which he had been taken from his house near Ramah in the Zuñi Mountains in the west of the state. So ended a defiant struggle, lasting more than two years, against multiple myeloma. It was fitting that David was able to spend his final weeks — and spend them actively, thinking, writing, and talking with visitors …
Blacks, Indians, and Spaniards in the Eastern Andes
On a bus from Cochabamba to Sucre, one passes through the area of Mizque, a rugged region of mighty Andean foothills in eastern highland Bolivia. Except on its interior edge, which descends toward the lowland savanna, the area is dry. But rivers flow down the many valleys among the parallel ranges of the foothills, eventually finding their way to Amazonia. The watered, fertile floors of these valleys have, from the distant past to the present, of…

An Interview with Antonio Dominguez Ortiz
Our series of interviews with renowned historians of Ibero-America has not included, to date, any scholar from the Iberian peninsula itself. It is a great satisfaction to remedy that omission by presenting here a conversation with don Antonio Dominguez Ortiz, whom many would rank as Spain's senior practicing historian of any period, and to whom all would point as the leading exponent in Spanish of his country's early modern history. Dr. Dominguez…

An Interview with Silvio Zavala
An Interview with Silvio Zavala
S ILVIO Zavala was one of the first Latin American scholars, if not the first, whose work I encountered as an undergraduate tiro in Mexican history. Within a week or two of the beginning of term, the encomienda was duly wheeled out on to the stage, and its modern guardians introduced: Leslie B. Simpson to the north of the border, and Silvio Zavala to the south. I recall finishing The Encomienda in New Spain; but I am not so sure about La encomien…
