Resumen del Libro

A solid contribution to an impressive series that recognizes indigenous agency in Mexican colonial history. Covers Oaxaca from the eve of the Spanish invasion through the late-18th century, encompassing origins, social organization, the prolonged conquest period, tribute rearrangements, evangelization, rebellions, history (re)writing, negotiated relationships with Spanish power, economic change, social and cultural change, more rebellion, land struggles, and other themes. Among other records worthy of note in the documentary appendix are the undated títulos of four pueblos in the Sierra Zapoteca and a bill of sale in Zapotec, dated 1703 –Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
