‘Are These Not Also Men?’
This chapter looks at the Amerindian women of the eastern woodlands in terms of historical change - and not just change generated by contact with Europeans, but by processes central to their own societies. It focuses on the absolute simultaneity of the Amerindian and European worlds, rather than viewing the former as an earlier version of the latter, and makes comparisons less polarized than the differences between "simple" and "complex" societie…

Taking Possession and Reading Texts
Ceremonies of arrival, marking physical presence on the land, no matter how compelling, frequently used, or well witnessed were only the first step. Immediately after Columbus&s;s return to Spain, the monarchs sought formal legal authorization for their title from the pope. For much of the sixteenth century, the Spanish crown&s;s right to rule the New World was embedded in the 1493 donation of Pope Alexander VI and constituted by reading a text c…

The Imperial Past
The Elusive West and the Contest for Empire, 1713-1763
Paul W. Mapp reframes the conventional US-centered history of the American West by studying the region’s claimants during the century preceding American supremacy. In the eighteenth century, three European nations (Great Britain, France, and Spain) and occasionally a fourth (Russia) strove to claim the territory that now forms the midwestern and western United States. According to Mapp, the failure of these powers to secure accurate geographical …
Fernández de Oviedo's Chronicle of America
This book contains three separate but related parts: a 126-page interpretation of selections from Oviedo’s General and Natural History by Kathleen Ann Myers, 34 pages of translations by Nina M. Scott of the relevant chapters, and 81 pages of image reproductions. The translations and images provide the primary source material upon which Myers builds each of her five analytic chapters, thus allowing readers to follow her arguments more closely and …

AHR Conversation
This year, the AHR inaugurates what we hope to be an annual “Conversation” on topics of wide interest to historians. Inspired by our sister journal, the Journal of American History, which two years ago introduced its “Interchange” feature, our goal is to bring several historians together in a conversational encounter online, where ideas can be exchanged across different geographical, chronological, and subject specialties in a manner that will co…
"Prince Henry "the Navigator
Early Modernity
"Modern" is a term of opposition. From its first use by a sixth-century governor in northern Italy to its most recent uses, "modern" is an antagonistic category. It is meant to divide and separate, to distinguish one thing from something else
American Pentimento
American Pentimento traces the history of colonization and exploitation in the Americas coming to demonstrate how contemporary native struggles are decisively limited by embedded cultural assumptions this history has incorporated into the very constitution of the Americas. As Seed writes, "the most enduring popular images of native Americans originated in common economic ambition shared by Anglo-Saxon or Iberian colonizers." This book focuses on …

T | SHE history of the American family conventionally starts with English families in the northeastern corner of the area of the North American continent that became the United States. Carole Shammas's article encompasses English families, but it also addresses Native American and Hispanic ones-all placed in a perspective that illuminates the distinctiveness of each. I will discuss the importance and some of the implications of this comparative a…

Social Dimensions of Race
HE relationship among race, social position, and economic roles was one of considerable significance in colonial Latin America. Race and presumed racial differences were the basic criteria for social differentiation. Initially the elite were (white) European-Spanish peninsulars, the slaves were Black, and the peasants were Indians, commonly residing apart from both Europeans and Blacks in semiautonomous communities. The economic organization of c…

Are These Not Also Men
When on an Advent Sunday morning in 1511 Fray Antonio Montesinos uttered the phrase 'Are these [Indians] not also men?' he ignited a political controversy that would rage in Spain for the next four decades. And the continuing fall-out of that fiery speech still has the potential to inflame scholarly tempers and spark heated contests nearly five hundred years later. At stake for Spaniards of the sixteenth century was the way the inhabitants of the…
Failing to Marvel
The encounter between Atahualpa and the Spaniards in Cajamarca Plaza on 16 November 1532 provided the dramatic moment that has been highlighted in narratives of the conquest of Peru by generations of historians, from Francisco de Jerez and Titu Cusi Yupanqui to William Prescott. More recently, James Lockhart's highly influential Spanish Peru (1968) and its companion, The Men of Cajamarca (1972), have defined the striking encounter at Cajamarca as…

More Colonial and Postcolonial Discourses
The three responses to "Colonial and Postcolonial Discourse" raise significant questions for studying such discourse but with significant similarities and differences. Hernán Vidal and Walter Mignolo embark on commentaries that endeavor in part to define a new position of engagement for intellectuals, while Rolena Adorno retains traditional academic distance. Yet all three responses provide colonial and postcolonial discourse with a historic traj…
Marriage Promises and the Value of a Woman's Testimony in Colonial Mexico
The Church and the Patriarchal Family
Traditional European families have long been presumed to be char acterized by parental control over their children's choices of a marriage partner; a control aided by the support of the Catholic church. This essay focuses on the role of the Catholic church in family conflicts over marriage in the Spanish New World colony of Mexico. It demonstrates that the Spanish Catholic church not only failed to support parental authority over their offspring'…

Equality of endogamy
Measuring Marriage by Estate and Class
The debate over estate and class continues to be one of the more enduring in colonial Latin American history. At its core lies an argument, much older than the terms estate and class, about the degree of rigidity of the colonial social structure. Evidence of this older concern can be found in the writings of Sergio Bagú (1952) and Gonzalo Aguirre Beltrán (1946) among others. The formulation of the debate into more precise sociological terms origi…
