Strike Fear in the Land
Historians of the early colonial period, once considered a moribund field, have opened new spheres of inquiry into the Spanish conquest of Latin America and the Caribbean. Reanalyzing early chroniclers' works, employing previously unexplored sources, and rethinking colonization processes have resulted in important contributions to conquest literature. Strike Fear in the Land much resembles the New Conquest History. The authors present a thorough …

While each chapter addresses rarely studied topics—such as Ward Stavig’s …
Butterflies Will Burn
Butterflies Will Burn weaves together criminal, inquisitional, and literary sources to show that attitudes toward so-called sodomites grew as much out of the needs of a burgeoning Spanish Empire as they did out of the religious conviction that male same-sex desire was immoral. Garza Carvajal argues that male homosexuality in the transatlantic Iberian world has been poorly understood within early modern European historiography. He posits that defi…
