The Misfortunes of Alonso Ramírez
In 1690, a dramatic account of piracy was published in Mexico City. The Misfortunes of Alonso Ramírez described the incredible adventures of a poor Spanish American carpenter who was taken captive by British pirates near the Philippines and forced to work for them for two years. After circumnavigating the world, he was freed and managed to return to Mexico, where the Spanish viceroy commissioned the well-known Mexican scholar Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora to write down Ramírez's account as part of an imperial propaganda campaign against pirates.

Privacy at Sea
This book explores the idea of privacy at sea, from early sixteenth-century maritime expansions to nineteenth-century naval developments.

Gestores de la real justicia
Al ser la justicia el principal atributo del poder del rey, los grandes cuerpos pol tico-sociales de los virreinatos de las Indias Occidentales, es decir de la actual Hispanoam rica, enviaban procuradores ante los rganos centrales de gobierno de la monarqu a espa ola. Su gesti n en la corte del soberano consisti sobre todo en la prosecuci n de litigios que fue importante ganar a fin de dar "asiento", es decir, de consolidar tales cuerpos en el orden social. Su mirada escrutaba ngulos de poder accesibles para funcionarios ubicados no en las m s altas esferas de poder, sino en aquellos espacios donde ten a lugar la urdimbre de ulteriores decisiones. Echando mano de los procedimientos empleados, de la informaci n que aprovecharon y de los grupos e individuos en quienes debieron apoyarse, este libro examina la trayectoria de cuatro procuradores de la catedral de M xico enviados a Madrid entre el ltimo tercio del siglo xvi y los primeros treinta y cinco a os del XVII.
