Willie Hiatt. The Rarified Air of the Modern
If you want the latest on the role of modernity and modernization in the transformation of a Latin American country, then you should dip into Willie Hiatt’s exploration of how “technological modernity” occurred, or, more to the point, didn’t occur, in twentieth-century Peru. The Rarified Air of the Modern: Airplanes and Technological Modernity in the Andes is part of the newer genre of Peruvian studies, which in the past focused on such tradition…
Indian and Slave Royalists in the Age of Revolution
Most of us who are interested in the Latin American Wars of Independence have probably asked, Why did some African-descended slaves and indigenous peoples not join the Creole revolutionaries? They were led, after all, by such charismatic leaders as Simón Bolívar, who championed freedom, independence, equality, rights, and many other benefits in overthrowing the tyrannical Spanish monarchy. Would it not have been in everyone’s benefit—Creoles, sla…

Why nobody likes a prophet
This essay focuses on and analyzes the role of prophet that Bartolomé de las Casas (1485–1566) lived out in the conquest and settlement of the New World. Borrowing a great deal from a shorter essay written years ago by Stafford Poole on the history and nature of prophets, we examine how Las Casas’s life mirrored so many of the qualities and characteristics of the prophet, especially those of the Old Testament. It is part of our general argument t…

Bartolomé de las Casas and the African Slave Trade
A revisionist view of Bartolomé de las Casas as the ‘author’ of the introduction of African slaves to the Indies/Americas in the early 16th century. The article details Las Casas’ thinking and actions and concludes that while Las Casas did—among other contemporaries—suggest the importation of African slaves to lift the burden of oppression off the Amerindians, his perspective and view was altered radically in the last third of his life. The artic…

Retórica, historia y polémica
Bartolomé de Las Casas (1485–1566), protector of the Indians and thorn in the side of Spain’s colonial enterprise, continues to engage us all across the centuries. This latest study brings the newest forms of literary analysis to bear on the principal works of Las Casas, especially the magisterial Historia de las Indias. The author invokes themes of the subaltern, the “other,” “subtexts,” “agency,” and other tools of the literary trade. If one is…

Technology, Disease and Colonial Conquests, Sixteenth to Eighteenth Centuries
The eight essays in this study reassess evidence about the plausibility of the widely accepted guns and germs theories which put forward firepower advantages and inadvertent disease importation as the two main causes of European imperial expansion overseas during the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. All argue that these theories are important but oversimplified. The effectiveness of firepower and disease impacts on specific groups…

Local Initiative and Finance in Defense of the Viceroyalty of Peru
IT HAS LONG BEEN AXIOMATIC that as Spain rose or fell, in terms of wealth, morale, and power, so did her Empire. Nonetheless, some students of the Empire's history have recently questioned such a close correlation between the dynamics of mother country and colonies. The decline of Spain in the seventeenth century was not mirrored by developments in her colonies. Indeed, it has been postulated' that'there was no decline for the Empire as a whole i…
Trade and Navigation in the Seventeenth-Century Viceroyalty of Peru
The movement of many vessels up and down the coasts of the Viceroyalty of Peru in the seventeenth century marked the existence of a lively commercial system within the Spanish Empire. In many respects, this maritime economy evolved quite apart and under different influences from the Atlantic world. The nature and dynamics of this trade and navigation within the viceroyalty's domain in this century are the subject of this brief exploration. The pr…

Sources in Lima for the Study of the Colonial Consulado of Peru
When the old Palacio de Gobierno was demolished in 1938, a mass of papers and volumes were discovered and saved. They turned out to be the heart of the colonial archive of the Lima Tribunal of the Consulado (or Merchant’s Guild) and represented a substantial portion of the colonial Hacienda, or treasury, papers of Lima as well. An archive, the Archivo Histórico de Comercio y Hacienda , was created (and opened in 1944) for the express purpose of h…

“We are still almost in a state of seige from the operations of the armed bands who rob and plunder almost daily, on the great thoroughfare between this city [Lima] and its port-town, Callao, and, amongst others, some of our countrymen have been attacked and wounded,” wrote Samuel Larned, United States Chargé d' Affaires at Lima on November 16, 1835. Lima and its environs were indeed in an uproar, made so by the revolt of the impetuous twenty-eig…
