This book offers an examination of everyday life in the Iberian
colonies of Central and South America-the indigenous peoples, their
Spanish and Portuguese colonizers, and the Africans brought over as
slaves. Drawing on a wealth of primary documents and recent
research, Daily Life in Colonial Latin America gives readers a
genuine sense of everyday living in Central and South America, from
the age of the great explorers in the 16th century to the beginning
of the era of independence three centuries later. Daily Life in
Colonial Latin America considers the full range of people caught up
in the sweep of history during this pivotal time-Indians, Spanish
and Portuguese settlers, Africans brought to the region as slaves,
Whites and Mestizos, and women and children. By focusing on the
lives of those often overshadowed by history, the book offers a new
way of understanding how peoples from the Iberian peninsula,
sub-Saharan Africa, and the western hemisphere interacted to
produce a uniquely Latin American culture. Chronology of key
developments in Latin American history, from the European arrival
in 1492 to the independence period in the early 19th century A
glossary of roughly 50 terms, mostly Spanish or Portuguese, that
are key to understanding daily life in the colonial era
