The Mayan in the Mall: Globalization, Development, and the Making of Modern Guatemala
Coming to terms with Guatemala’s dark underside is a challenge to the detached scholar as much as to the feeling human being in all of us. Areas of great natural beauty and colorful native tradition coexist with the grimmest of social and economic realities. To grasp such contradictions, writers sometimes employ paradoxical or oxymoronic constructions. In the seventeenth century, for example, Dominican friar Thomas Gage described the country as “…
Sexo, mentiras y documentos de archivo: Un episodio del siglo XVII con una advertencia a todos los historiadores
El 13 de julio de 1672, don José de Calatayud y Castillo, capitán de infantería avecindadoen La Habana, pidió a un escribano que le sacara un poder.

Natives, Europeans, and Africans in Sixteenth-Century Santiago de Guatemala
In a major contribution to our understanding of early postconquest society, Robinson A. Herrera focuses on the colonial city of Santiago de Guatemala. Founded by Pedro de Alvarado in 1524 and established on its present site in Panchoy Valley in 1543, Santiago is today the popular tourist destination known as Antigua Guatemala. Until its destruction by earthquake in 1773, Santiago was Spanish Central America’s principal administrative, commercial,…

The result of decades of effort by genealogist Juan José Falla, these volumes are a useful guide to the riches of Guatemala’s notarial archives for the period from roughly the mid–sixteenth to the mid–seventeenth century. Himself an attorney and notary, Falla has abstracted a large number of notarial acts, or escrituras, of all kinds, sworn before 33 escribanos practicing in the colonial city of Santiago de Guatemala (today’s Antigua). The collec…
Epoca temprana de León Viejo: Una historia de la primera capital de Nicaragua
At the edge of Lake Xolotlán, or Managua, within view of the Momotombo volcano, lies what is left of the first site of León, Nicaragua, founded in 1524 by Francisco Hernández de Córdoba. Abandoned in 1610, for centuries León Viejo lay hidden beneath earth and vegetation. Since the rediscovery of the ruins in 1967, archaeologists have gradually revealed much of León Viejo’s material legacy, but historians have done little to wrest the city’s story…
Regiones europeas y Latinoamérica (siglos XVIII y XIX)
Despite its broader title, this volume of papers from a conference held at Cologne in December 1995, deals primarily with the relationship between Latin America and Germany. Of 19 contributions, all but 5 involve either a specific region of Germany or individual/collective activities of specific Germans in Latin America. Two of the less geographically limited essays that are of particular interest are Antonio García-Barquero González’s detailed, …

Ph.D. Dissertations on social Change and Development in Central America (1960–1974): An Addendum to the Snarr-Brown List
The title of D. Neil Snarr and E. Leonard Brown's “An Analysis of Ph.D. Dissertations on Central America: 1960–1974” (LARR 12, no. 2 [1977]) suggests a comprehensive compilation and analysis of dissertation research on Central America between 1960 and 1974. While one might have hoped for coverage of a broader period, particularly since the 1950s produced several significant doctoral dissertations on Central America, such a title promises at least…
