The seven essays that are contained in Mario Gongora's Studies in
the Colonial History of Spanish America demonstrate his exceptional
range as a historian, as they run from the eve of discovery and
conquest of the Indies to the end of the Spanish Empire, and
connect matters as seemingly distant as the place of the New World
in Spanish utopian thought and the humble workings of the native
labour system. Professor Gongora draws on his own previous work on
the theory and technique of conquest, showing its European
precedents and context, and displaying the mastery of local detail
that readers of his previous books will expect. In these essays he
also reflects on the advances in scholarship that have been made in
the last decades, and relates one monograph to another, one local
study to a larger issue, practical developments and ideological
currents, in a manner that will appeal not only to all students of
the Spanish Empire and of Spain, but to historians of many
different interests.
