Reviews

“An innovative, eloquent, and thoroughly researched study on the political culture of an important Andean region during the transition from colonial to republican order.”—Nils Jacobsen, University of Illinois

“This pioneering study of the changing links between the state and its Indian subjects during the transition to the Republic is not only a truly brilliant reconstruction of a complex and enigmatic process but a vital contribution to the current effort to make sense of the painful birth of modern Spanish America.”—Tulio Halperín Donghi, University of California, Berkeley

“This is a very good book, and may even come to be a classic in this cutting-edge sub-field of Latin American history. The research is impressively deep, the writing clear, engaging, and rising at points to lyricism.”—Eric Van Young, University of California, San Diego
