Deconstructing Legitimacy
The overthrow of Viceroy Joaqu&ín de la Pezuela on 29 January 1821 has not received much attention from historians, who have viewed it as a simple military uprising. Yet in this careful study of the episode, based on deep archival research, Patricia Marks reveals it to be the culmination of decades of Peruvian opposition to the Bourbon reforms of the late eighteenth century, especially the Reglamento de comercio libre of 1778. It also marked a radical change in political culture brought about by the constitutional upheavals that followed Napolean's invasion of Spain. Although Pezuela's overthrow was organized and carried out by royalists among the merchants and the military, it proved to be an important event in the development of the independence movement as well as a pivotal factor in the failure to establish a stable national state in post-independence Peru. The golpe de estado may thereby be seen as an early manifestation of Latin American praetorianism, in which a sector of the civilian population, unable to prevail politically and unwilling to compromise, pressures army officers to act in order to &"save&" the state.
The Lima Inquisition
The Holy Office of the Inquisition (a royal tribunal that addressed issues of heresy and offenses to morality) was established in Peru in 1570 and operated there until 1820. In this book, Ana E. Schaposchnik provides a deeply researched history of the Inquisition’s Lima Tribunal, focusing in particular on the cases of persons put under trial for crypto-Judaism in Lima during the 1600s. Delving deeply into the records of the Lima Tribunal, Schaposchnik brings to light the experiences and perspectives of the prisoners in the cells and torture chambers, as well as the regulations and institutional procedures of the inquisitors. She looks closely at how the lives of the accused—and in some c...

Un historiador enamorado.
Los historiadores también se enamoran. En estas cartas, Jorge Guillermo Leguía, importante historiador de la Generación del Centenario, muestra una faceta desconocida para muchos: un amor apasionado y quizás hasta delirante hacia su novia, Emilia Romero. Las cartas entre ambos son además un himno al amor, pletóricas de romanticismo y de bellas imágenes metafóricas. Fueron escritas en 1933, durante los dos meses en que él estuvo preso, acusado injustamente por razones políticas. Pero el libro es, además, una historia de la vida de ambos personajes. A través de sus biografías, nos introducimos en la época del Oncenio, 1919-1930, segundo gobierno del presidente Augusto B. Leguía;...
