The Women of Colonial Latin America

Life, Luck, and How I Became a Historian
Before I begin, I want to thank the Conference on Latin American History [CLAH] and the Distinguished Service Award Committee for giving me this signal honor. This organization has always been important to me, and it's really nice to know tiiat it thinks I've been important to it. The last talk I gave to CLAH was in Atlanta five years ago. I told the story of one man, Santiago de Liniers, and his good and bad fortune. Just as for Liniers, luck ha…
Everyday Reading
This is a first book by a professor of Spanish who clearly has an interest in the cultural ramifications of the history of print and a love of archives. William Garrett Acree makes a convincing case for the importance of what he calls “everyday reading” in the Río de la Plata and suggests that it was not an accident that Argentina and Uru-guay have had the highest literacy rates in Latin America since the late nineteenth century. Acree defines ev…

Artesanos y manufactureros en Lima. FRANCISCO Quiroz CHUECA
This is a solid study of artisans and manufacturers in colonial Lima . The book is organized around what the author sees as pivotal moments in Lima ’s economic history: the sixteenth-century creation of an artisan group; the seventeenth-century apogee of local manufacturing; and the eighteenth-century economic crisis that produced a return to small scale workshops. Drawing widely on published studies and archival research as well as his own previ…

Gender, Race and Religion in the Colonization of the Americas
This is an ambitious edited volume that attempts to discuss the interaction of gender, race, and religion across Spanish, Portuguese, English, and French colonial America. In her introduction, Nora Jaffary takes pains to discuss these three variables within the context of Atlantic World colonialism. Unfortunately there is no attempt to weigh the role of each variable within a theoretical framework. Furthermore, Jaffary is somewhat vague about the…
CLAH Luncheon Address
“As ill-luck would have it” “As good luck would have it” First let me welcome y'all to Atlanta. Let me begin by telling you what I'm not going to do. There is no subaltern theory, gender theory, queer theory nor any discussion of race, class and gender (RCG) in my talk. Nothing will be constructed, deconstructed, structured, conceptualized or historicized. I will not speak of hegemony or hegemonic processes, “weapons of the weak” or contested ter…
Weaving the Past
Weaving the Past is an admirable attempt to synthesize the work of archaeologists, ethnohistorians, and ethnologists into a coherent history of native women in Mexico, Central America, and the central Andes. Kellogg begins with a brief introductory chapter that outlines some concepts she believes are central to the history of indigenous women (agency, gender complementarity, parallelism) and gives a cursory review of pre-Classic civilizations and…

The Historical Archaeology of Buenos Aires
What do Juan Manuel de Rosas, English and French porcelain, and the remains of revienta caballos seeds have in common? Both are among the telling bits of evidence that demonstrate the new dimensions historical archaeology brings to the history. Rosas, the xenophobic governor of Buenos Aires province, prohibited imports of European products, but had English and French porcelain, French floor tiles and toothbrushes from Paris in his country residen…
The Women of Colonial Latin America
This book presents an overview of the varied experiences of women in colonial Spanish and Portuguese America. Beginning with the cultures that would produce the Latin American world, the book traces the effects of conquest, colonization, and settlement on colonial women. The book also examines the expectations, responsibilities, and limitations facing women in their varied roles, stressing the ways in which race, social status, occupation, and sp…
Propriety and Permissiveness in Bourbon Mexico. Juan Pedro Viqueira ALBÁN
How did Mexican popular culture change during the Bourbon rule of Spain and its overseas empire? The accepted wisdom echoed the writings of multiple Enlightened authors who decried a breakdown in morals and a perversion of customs, in other words, what contemporaries saw as a "decline of propriety." In this path-breaking study, Juan Pedro Viqueira argues that rather than any decline or degeneration, what most marked Mexican culture from the middl…

Durante el siglo XVIII Buenos Aires se convirtio en una ciudad importante del imperio espafiol en America. Comenzando en las primeras decadas y prolongandose ininterrumpidamente durante todo el siglo, el comercio (tanto legal como el contrabando) y la creciente actividad militar en el Rio de la Plata dio a la ciudad una nueva importancia economica y estrategica.

Women and crime
Crime reflects social values, for it indicates what is viewed as abnormal or deviant behavior (and conversely what is acceptable behavior), and the degree to which that behavior is abhorrent to society in general. In addition to reflecting general values, crime as it involves one racial, sexual or social group can shed light on the attitude of the ruling elite toward a specific group, and the social position of that group within a larger context.…

In both empires, violence between Europeans and Indians regularly l…

Buenos Aires
Merchants of Buenos Aires 1778–1810
By the end of the eighteenth century, Buenos Aires was one of the major commercial entrepots of the Spanish American empire. Chief among the beneficiaries of the new prosperity of the area were the wholesale merchants, a group of men who came to control the commerce of the entire Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata. This study, a contribution to the fields of social history and group biography, looks at the formation of the merchant group, and at the …

Three Contributions to Latin American Social History
Social history has, during the past decade, come into its own. A large number of Latin American history dissertations written since the mid-60s and much of the research currently being published fall into this genre. 1 Interestingly, those Latin American historians concerned with the colonial period have been the quickest to embrace the ideas, techniques, and approaches of social history, and have produced exciting and insightful work, leading to…

HE last ten years have witnessed rather tumultuous times in that area of Latin America referred to as the Cono Sur. Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Bolivia (not to mention Chile) have experienced political upheavals, economic dislocations, and intellectual disruptions. What has been the result of the rather perilous present, including the dismantling of academic life, on the writings about the past? What of the quality of the works that have ap…
