Death and Dying in Colonial Spanish America
The seven essays in this stimulating volume reflect on the ways in which the singularly individual physical event of death is “coded into” a variety of colonial Spanish American social, cultural, and political processes (p. 16). These articles not only accomplish well the volume’s explicit intention of bringing to an English- speaking audience some of the current approaches to the subject; they also synthesize and engage with recent work that, ra…
Epistolario de sor Dolores Peña y Lillo (Chile, 1763 - 1769)
Researchers studying the religious history of women in colonial Latin America have had to rely for their interpretations of female spiritual and convent life on a reduced body of letters and spiritual autobiographies.

Here, five researchers from S…
The Search for Idols and Saints in Colonial Peru: Linking Extirpation and Beatification
Recent interest in the cultural history of the middle colonial period in Peru has centered on two distinct clerical efforts to guide Christian behavior: the systematic inspection tours aimed at uprooting idolatry among the Indians of the Archdiocese of Lima (frequently called the “Extirpation”) and the initiatives to promote the beatification of saintly Limeños.1 Both campaigns were linked to the aims of the clerics assembled at the Council of Tr…
