The British occupation of Manila and Havana (1762–1764) was a singularly important and well-known catalyst for Spanish imperial reform. Eva Maria Mehl recasts this familiar narrative by focusing on the 4,000 or so military recruits who departed Acapulco for the Philippines to defend the crown's possessions between 1765 and 1811. Her book outlines the recruitment campaign; its place within the broader Bourbon reform impulse; its effects on the men…

Examining the lives of people of mixed descent in the New Kingdom of Granada and the challenges that authorities and others faced when a…

Early debates questioned whether to privilege its guiding spirit of protecting the crown’s indigenous vassals from abuse, or to recognize that the law arrived in the New World a dead letter given the realities of an imperial project predicated on racial hierarchies and exploit…
