  • The Motions Beneath

    Susan M Deed, Susan M DeedsARTICLEEthnohistory2019

    In this well-researched book, Laurent Corbeil offers the story of how a complex mix of indigenous migrants from central areas of Mexico moved beneath the structures of colonialism and actively contributed to the creation of a flourishing economy and society during the first forty years of the city of San Luis Potosí. In sorting out these multiethnic northward migrations, concepts of mobility and identity thread through his analysis.How does this …

  • Capturing the Landscape of New Spain

    Susan M DeedsARTICLEWestern Historical Quarterly2016

    Baltasar Obregón’s Historia de los descubrimientos de Nueva España (1584) has been published in two Spanish-language editions (1989, 1997) and one in English (1928) translated by George P. Hammond and Agapito Rey. Since the noted geographer of Mexico’s northwest, Carl O. Sauer, complained in 1932 that Obregón’s text was confused and lurid, no one has attempted a critical cultural reading of it until now. Rebecca A. Carte has used her cultural lin…

  • Sean F. McEnroe. From Colony to Nationhood in Mexico

    Susan M DeedsARTICLEThe American Historical Review2016

    A creative, original argument frames From Colony to Nationhood in Mexico: Laying the Foundations, 1560–1840 which, despite the geographical sweep of the title and the frequent labeling of the area as northern Mexico, focuses on the colonial and independence history of Nuevo León with some reference to today’s Tamaulipas and southern Texas. According to Sean F. McEnroe, a partial explanation for the origins of Mexican nationhood can be found in th…

  • The Eagle and the Virgin

    Susan M Deed, Susan M DeedsARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2008

    The 16 essays that Mary Kay Vaughan and Stephen E. Lewis have compiled here inventively probe and synthesize the synergistic processes of nation building and cultural revolution that characterized Mexico in the period from 1920 to 1940. In the final essay, Claudio Lomnitz affirms the centrality of cultural analysis to understanding this revolution: “culture is neither baggage, nor specter, nor glacier, and in no sense is it a ‘superstructure’ of …

  • Converting California

    Susan M Deed, Susan M DeedsARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2006

    In Converting California, James A. Sandos adds his interpretive touch to the literature on California missions, with the intent of providing a corrective to what he sees as a skewed, polarized historiography that favors the study of “material culture” over religion and worldview. In both cases, his categorization tends toward reductionism: scholars are either “Christophilic triumphalists” or “Christophobic nihilists,” or their explanations derive…

  • How to Write the History of the New World

    Susan M Deed, Susan M DeedsARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2004

    This richly detailed and well-researched book curiously and cleverly combines “old-fashioned” intellectual history with a postcolonial thesis. According to historian Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra, the eighteenth-century debates that crisscrossed the Atlantic about how to write the history of the New World constituted nothing less than a revolution in historiographical sensibilities that anticipated postmodern approaches. The author uses manuscript sou…

  • Behind the Mexican Mountains

    Susan M Deed, Susan M DeedsARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2004

    During nine months of 1930 and 1931, two anthropologists participated in the University of Chicago Expedition of Tarahumara Ethnography, designed to study the Tarahumaras (or the Rarámuri, as they call themselves) of Chihuahua and collect specimens of Sierra Madre fauna. Wendell C. Bennett of the American Museum of Natural History was accompanied by Robert Zingg, still a doctoral student at Chicago. In 1935, the University of Chicago Press publis…

    I HAHR I MAY methodological gaps that need to be addressed in future studies.For example, the authors seldom attend to legal and procedural literature, which is rich in revealing contradictions and debates; they rely instead on primary sources related to actual practice.Bridging this particular gap will require wider access to sources like the 1605 manual for notaries produced in Mexico by Nicolas de Irolo Calar, whose cameo appearance is a highl…
