Intimate Enemies: Landowners, Power, and Violence in Chiapas (review)
This being said, Menegus and Aguirre have written an intriguing book, whose use of little known material often is quite ingenious. The book also includes a valuable appendix that contains detailed notes on all the indigenous students they found. It should, however, be noted that this number is considered a bare minimum; the total will probably grow with new research. Nevertheless, the findings of Menegus and Aguirre prove that the university and the colleges of New Spain, though predominantly Peninsular and Creole milieus, did include a rather substantial number of non-Hispanic students. The authors have laid a foundation for further research into the concrete work situation and career patterns of Indian priests.
