In the past, Spaniards, creoles, Indians, and blacks were all kept in neatly separate explanatory categories to analyze conquest, conversion, and cultural change from initial contact to the wars for independence. Spaniards, so the old colonial story was told, were the brave and self-sacrifi cing spiritual and military conquerors of Amerindian empires and African slaves. They were also the most talented artists in the principal viceregal cities and the only ones who wrote about historical themes and other scientifi c matters. Several new currents of research have signifi cantly complicated these oversimplifi ed dichotomies of colonial life. The more nuanced picture emerging is that of Indian and black conquistadors and missionaries who, alongside Europeans, subjugated indigenous polities and converted the masses, developing local Christianities in light of their own cultural assumptions. And now, instead of being mere slavish imitators of European art and illiterate neophytes in rural doctrinas (proto-parishes), Indians and blacks are increasingly seen as artists and authors whose works deserve to be treated together with those of Spaniards and creoles
