Bedlam in the New World: A Mexican Madhouse in the Age of Enlightenment
Gamboa's World: Justice, Silver Mining, and Imperial Reform in New Spain
At the core of this history of legal culture and imperial reform in eighteenth-century Mexico is the jurist Francisco Xavier de Gamboa (1717–94), the first American-born regent, or chief justice, of the Real Audiencia of Mexico. Christopher Albi sets out to show how Gamboa's commitment to legal principles of autonomy, due process, and local custom allowed him to rise above partisan politics and his class interests to articulate informed positions…
To Sin No More: Franciscans and Conversion in the Hispanic World, 1683-1830
In a fallen world, faith requires constant vigilance. That was the conviction of the Franciscans at the center of David Rex Galindo's polycentric history of the colleges of Propaganda Fide. In 1683, a time of growing suspicion of the independence of the regular missionary orders in the Spanish world, the Franciscans established the first college for the propagation of faith at Querétaro, a textile center along the road to Mexico's northern mining…

Enlightened publics for public health: Assessing disease in colonial Mexico
Out of Tlatelolco's Ruins: Patronage, Devotion, and Natural Disaster at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Angels, 1745-1781
Colonial inhabitants of Mexico City were accustomed to coping with natural disasters, including disease epidemics, droughts, floods, and earthquakes, which menaced rich and poor alike and stirred fervent devotion to miraculous images and their shrines. This article revisits the late colonial history of the shrine of Our Lady of the Angels, an image preserved miraculously on an adobe wall in the Indian quarter of Santiago Tlatelolco. The assumptio…
Like Herod's Massacre”: Quarantines, Bourbon Reform, and Popular Protest in Oaxaca's Smallpox Epidemic, 1796-1797
At the end of August 1796, Balthasar Ruiz, a weaver from Teotitlán del Valle, departed with his son to sell woven goods in the mountainous region to the south.

The two had made a typical journey in an atypical time: administrators throughout the intendancy of Oaxaca were actively pursuing a program of contagion av…
