Feeding Chilapa
Chris Kyle has composed a fine book on the history of an economic region in southern Mexico from the pre-Columbian era down to the present. A cultural anthropologist rather than an historian, the author used both ethnological investigation and archival research in assembling this study. Kyle divides his work into six chapters that deal substantially with different historical periods, plus an introduction and conclusion. Since 1990, he has spent a…

The Human Tradition in Mexico
Jeffrey Pilcher has assembled 15 capsule biographies of Mexicans from diverse backgrounds into a useful reader intended for undergraduates. He clusters these case studies into four eras (1750–1850, 1850–1910, 1910-40, and 1940 to the present) without explaining this periodization. He incorporates the name of a different Mexico City Metro stop into the brief introduction to each biography, arguing for the continued relevance of these historical fi…

La fortaleza docta
This book considers important aspects of the formal scholarly world in Mexico during the first two centuries of the colonial period; it is the translation of a doctoral dissertation done at SUNY, Stony Brook, a decade ago. Unfortunately, it has not been updated in any systematic way, as is reflected in its somewhat dated bibliography. For sources, Chocano Mena relies heavily on the extensive secondary literature and on published writings from the…
Los nobles ante la muerte en México
Verónica Zárate Toscano has composed a social and cultural history of major importance. She examines the attitudes and ceremonies related to death described in the testaments of the Mexican nobility between 1750 and 1850. The book is divided into three distinct, unequal, but related parts. The first, and shortest, section describes the history of the testament in European culture. The second provides a systematic consideration of the Mexican nobi…

Between Worlds
Spanning the globe and the centuries, Frances Karttunen tells the stories of sixteen men and women who served as interpreters and guides to conquerors, missionaries, explorers, soldiers, and anthropologists. These interpreters acted as uncomfortable bridges between two worlds; their own marginality, the fact that they belonged to neither world, underscores the complexity and tension between cultures meeting for the first time. The interpreters in…

A Plague of Sheep
The Pulque Trade of Late Colonial Mexico City
Over the course of the colonial period the Spanish in Mexico, whether Creole or peninsular, not only created an economic and marketing structure based on their own practices and preferences but also penetrated and even came to dominate the marketing of certain Indian commodities, when these products were exchanged in a cash rather than a barter system and when involvement in the marketing appeared sufficiently lucrative. Cacao was probably the fi…

Patterns in Early Spanish Overseas Expansion
S PANISH expeditions ventured to the American mainland in the second and third decades of the sixteenth century only after an extended process of overseas expansion.'

Ruy González's 1553 Letter to Emperor Charles V An Annotated Translation
The letter sent by Ruy González, a councilman of Mexico City, to the Spanish monarch, Charles I (Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire), in April 1553 constitutes an excellent example of the genre of correspondence sent by the conquerors and early settlers of the colonies back to Spain. These men, self-assured and successful, proud of their achievements and unbothered by moral doubt, though now generally well off and powerful, were nonethele…

The Role of the Family in Economic Development in Nineteenth-Century Latin America
Family firms, characteristic of business organization in colonial Latin America, thrived throughout the nineteenth century because they responded dynamically to changes in the direction and character of the economy.

Economic Forces and Social Development in Colonial New Spain
The outpouring of colonial Mexican social history that marked the 1970s had its origins in the previous decade. As Marcello Carmagnani's article points out, historians had come to appreciate the limits of institutional approaches to this field of inquiry. Contributions in demographic history, economic history, and ethnohistory strongly indicated that the dynamics of colonial life were other than had been identified to date and that even periodiza…

The Making of a Strike
Life Patterns and Social Differentiation in Late Colonial México City
Mexico City, in the fifty years between 1770 and 1820 was far and away the largest urban entity in the Americas, with a population ranging between about 80000 and 120000 peop1e in this period. As a center of both production and consumption and the headquarters of the numerous agencies in the political and religious hierarchies, the capital had a major impact on the social organization and economic activities of rural areas and regional centers th…
Consumption and Control
Scholars have long recognized that despite the a11ure of quick and substantial profits offered by investment in mining and commerce, agriculture and ranching in fact rendered the greatest part of New Spain's gross domestic product throughout much of the colonia1 period. Certainly such was the case in the eighteenth century, when such indicators as tithe income records note the rapid increase in agricultural out-put

Bureaucrats, Planters, and Workers
A government monopoly provides an excellent case study of state-society relationships. This is especially true of the tobacco monopoly in colonial Mexico, whose revenues in the later half of the eighteenth century were second only to the silver tithe as the most valuable source of government income. This comprehensive study of the tobacco monopoly illuminates many of the most important themes of eighteenth-century Mexican social and economic hist…
