Inventing Lima
This study examines certain key elements of the "making" or "inventing" of Lima as Peru's viceregal capital. Through analysis of seventeenth-century ceremonies of state and local religious rituals, this book asserts that colonial Lima was culturally diverse and its rich population more integrated than historiography would suggest.
Adam's Table
Back in the 1990s when vegetarianism was not as popular as it is today, Reggi Burnett started a restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in an effort to introduce people to nutritious dishes full of flavor and richness. Adam's Table served vegetarian and vegan dishes to its patrons, all of who raved about the “best tasting, healthiest food of any restaurant.” Even meat-eaters praised the restaurant for its delicious food, including a reporter for The Albuquerque Journal, who wrote, “Beware of eating at Adam's Table. It just may change your life…. It's enough to make you want to go vegetarian permanently. It was enough to make us—die hard beefers—sign up for Reggi's healthy vegetarian cooking classes.” Although the restaurant has since closed its doors, the recipes that made it a hit are captured in this cookbook for all to enjoy. The cookbook features recipes in the following categories: Dressings and Seasonings; Soups, Salads, and Vegetables; Main Dishes and Casseroles; Southwest Style Main Dishes; Breads and Breakfast; Pies, Pastry, and Desserts.

Between Court and Confessional
Between Court and Confessional explores the lives of Spanish inquisitors, closely examining the careers and writings of five sixteenth- and seventeenth-century inquisitors. Kimberly Lynn considers what shaped particular inquisitors, what kinds of official experience each accumulated, and to what ends each directed his acquired knowledge and experience. The case studies examine the complex interplay of careerism and ideological commitments evident in inquisitorial activities. Whereas many studies of the Spanish Inquisition tend to depict inquisitors as faceless and interchangeable, Lynn probes the lives of individual inquisitors to show how inquisitors' operations in their social, political, religious and intellectual worlds set the Inquisition in motion. By focusing on specific individuals, this study explains how the theory and regulations of the Inquisition were rooted in local conditions, particular disputes and individual experiences.

The Chinese in Latin America and the Caribbean
The Chinese migration to the Latin America/Caribbean region is an understudied dimension of the Asian American experience. There are three distinct periods in the history of this migration: the early colonial period (pre-19th century), when the profitable three-century trade connection between Manila and Acapulco led to the first Asian migrations to Mexico and Peru; the classic migration period (19th to early twentieth centuries), marked by the coolie trade known to Chinese diaspora studies; and the renewed immigration of the late 20th century to the present. Written by specialists on the Chinese in Latin America and the Caribbean, this book tells the story of Asian migration to the Americas and contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the Chinese in this important part of the world.
