A study of the development of human society in Yucatan during the
colonial period, this book poses a challenge to a variety of
accepted views, including the notion that Yucatan was largely
isolated from the main part of Spain's New World empire and thus
from international markets and the world economy - an isolation
often cited as the principal reason for the extended survival of
indigenous culture in the region. In the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, Yucatan society was composed of both Maya and Spanish
commonwealths, each with its own economic, social, and political
organization. This book represents several new departures, both for
what is known about colonial Yucatan and for colonial Latin
American history in general. It forces the reader to rethink much
of the received knowledge about acculturation, the hacienda, and
inter-regional relations.
