This book provides a general history of Latin America in the period
between the European conquest and the gaining of independence by
the Spanish American countries and Brazil (approximately
1492-1825). It is both an introduction for the student at the
college level and a provisionally updated synthesis of the quickly
changing field for the more experienced reader. The authors' aim is
not only to treat colonial Brazil and colonial Spanish America in a
single volume, something rarely done, but also to view early Latin
America as one unit with a centre and peripheries, all parts of
which were characterized by variants of the same kinds of change,
regardless of national and imperial borders. The authors integrate
both the older and the newer historical literature, seeing legal,
institutional, and political phenomena within a social, economic,
and cultural context. They incorporate insights from other
disciplines and newer techniques of historical research, but eschew
jargon or technical concepts. The approach of the book, with its
emphasis on broad social and economic trends across large areas and
long time periods, does much to throw light on Latin America in the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries as well.
