The Encomenderos of New Spain, 1521-1555
While the Spanish conquistadors have been stereotyped as rapacious treasure seekers, many firstcomers to the New World realized that its greatest wealth lay in the native populations whose labor could be harnessed to build a new Spain. Hence, the early arrivals in Mexico sought encomiendas—"a grant of the Indians of a prescribed indigenous polity, who were to provide the grantee (the encomendero) tribute in the form of commoditiesand service in return for protection and religious instruction." This study profiles the 506 known encomenderos in New Spain (present-day Mexico) during the years 1521-1555, using their life histories to chart the rise, florescence, and decline of the encomienda system. The first part draws general conclusions about the actual workings of the encomienda system. The second part provides concise biographies of the encomenderos themselves.

Latinization of America
Latinization of America provides a contemporary overview of the Hispanic population’s cultural impact in the United States. The author explores the growth of this community in show business at large as well as in the Spanish-speaking entertainment industry. Focusing on music, television, film, theater, and sports—while also considering economic and political factors—the author tracks developments over the first decade of the 21st century. Encompassing the various groups of immigrants who create new vistas of opportunity for both Spanish-speaking and mainstream entrepreneurs, this volume highlights the crossover and integration of Hispanics into competitive mainstream show business—and the rush by Anglo companies to grab their piece of the Latin pie.
