Review:

"This is the text for Colonial Latin American history by which all other texts are measured. The writing is excellent."--Stanley E. Blake, The Ohio State University at Lima

"Colonial Latin America offers students the proper balance between quantity of information and accessibility. This venerable text has been successful because it works."--Glenn A. Chambers, Texas A&M University

"It is encouraging to see the detail being given to the role of women, the African presence in Latin America, and the Native American experience in Colonial Latin America. It is the best text that I have seen that deals with these subjects. I also commend the ways in which the authors have interwoven the history of non-elites and racial and ethnic minorities so that the work reads as an inclusive history rather than a history of Europeans in Latin America with women, black, and natives seen as ancillary to the narrative."--Robert J. Ferry, University of Colorado-Boulder
