Governance and Society in Colonial Mexico: Chihuahua in the Eighteenth Century

by Cheryl English Martin

"A valuable addition to the historical literature on late colonial Mexico and the very modified impact of the Bourbon reforms. Solidly based on research in the well-preserved local archives, the author investigates how a large city on the northern frontier differed from other cities in New Spain. Particularly rich in materials on labor and ritual"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
