From Subjects to Citizens: Honor, Gender, and Politics in Arequipa, Peru, 1780-1854 (review)
These two studies manifest two different poles in viceregal research. While Salazar Andreu has provided us with a solid chronology of events and a narration of the important feature of the two governments of Velasco in Mexico, Latasa Vassallo has gone far beyond that, looking deeply into the society and economy of colonial Peru, probing the very basic assumptions upon which the colonial state was formed to place Montesclaros within it. These works stand well as points of departure for future research.
