Using "El lazarillo de ciegos caminantes" (the "Guide for Blind
Rovers" by Alonso Carrio de Lavandera, the best known work of the
era) as a jumping off point for a sprawling discussion of
18th-century Spanish America, Ruth Hill argues for a richer, more
nuanced understanding of the relationship between Spain and its
western colonies. Armed with primary sources including literature,
maps, census data, letters, and diaries, Hill reveals a rich world
of intrigue and artifice, where identity is surprisingly fluid and
always in question. More importantly, Hill crafts a complex
argument for reassessing our understanding of race and class
distinctions at the time, with enormous implications for how we
view conceptions of race and class today.
