Letter of recommendation on behalf of Francisco de Montemayor y Mancilla
Letter of recommendation, dated June 10, 1665 in Manila, on behalf of Francisco Montemayor y Mancilla, signed by two members of the Discalced Recollects of San Nicolás in Manila, Fray Juan de la Madre de Dios and prior Fray Joseph de San Nicolás de Tolentino. Fathers Juan and Joseph certify before notary Nicolás de Herrera that Montemayor, an oidor of the Real Audiencia of Manila, is a person of good moral character and an impartial judge who attends to the matters brought before him promptly and wisely. Montemayor is a pleasant and modest man, easily approached and well-liked by all. In addition, the two priests point out that their high estimation of Montemayor is shared by many others. The endorsement is dated June 10, 1665 in Manila, with countersignatures dated June 11, 1665.

It does so by studying the viceregal political culture that developed in New Spain in the sixteenth and seventeenth cent...

The casual reader of general Mexican history will find it difficult keeping up with the list of Mexico's principal characters over the centuries, now expanding, then suddenly contracting due to assassinations, exiles, military defeats, and alliances gone awry. Oaxacan writer Bruce Stores solves that problem by employing a simple technique used for millennia by the local indigenous peoples: storytelling. His take on historical fiction paints a human, everyday face on the historian's cold mask of dates, places, and wars. Structur...

The Art of Being In-between
In The Art of Being In-between Yanna Yannakakis rethinks processes of cultural change and indigenous resistance and accommodation to colonial rule through a focus on the Sierra Norte of Oaxaca, a rugged, mountainous, ethnically diverse, and overwhelmingly indigenous region of colonial Mexico. Her rich social and cultural history tells the story of the making of colonialism at the edge of empire through the eyes of native intermediary figures: indigenous governors clothed in Spanish silks, priests’ assistants, interpreters, economic middlemen, legal agents, landed nobility, and “Indian conquistadors.” Through political negotiation, cultural brokerage, and the exercise of violence, these...
