The Making of a Civil Rights Leader
Born in 1944, Jose Angel Gutierrez grew up in a time when Mexicans and Mexican Americans in Texas and the Southwest attended separate schools and avoided public facilities and restaurants that were designated "Whites Only."

The Position of Roman Slaves
Slaves were property of their dominus, objects rather than persons, without rights: These are some components of our basic knowledge about Roman slavery.

Gives accurate and reliable summaries of the current state of research.

Les intendants de la vice-royauté de la Nouvelle-Espagne (1764-1821)
L’histoire de l’intendance hispano-américaine ne peut se faire sans l’histoire des hommes qui la gouvernent. Au-delà des données biographiques classiques, cet ouvrage se penche sur leur environnement familial, social et professionnel. Son originalité réside dans la composition du groupe étudié. Il recense l’ensemble des intendants de la vice-royauté de la Nouvelle-Espagne entre 1764 et 1821 quel que soit leur mode de nomination, qu’ils soient entrés ou non en charge. Il est le seul à étudier les intendants de cette aire géographique dans toute son intégralité territoriale (Nouvelle-Espagne, Guatemala, Louisiane, Cuba, Porto Rico, Philippines).
