Promiscuous Power
Honorable Mention, Bandelier/Lavrin Book Award in Colonial Latin America, Rocky Mountain Council on Latin American Studies (RMCLAS), 2019 Honorable Mention, The Alfred B. Thomas Book Award, Southeastern Council of Latin American Studies (SECOLAS), 2019 Scholars have written reams on the conquest of Mexico, from the grand designs of kings, viceroys, conquistadors, and inquisitors to the myriad ways that indigenous peoples contested imperial authority. But the actual work of establishing the Spanish empire in Mexico fell to a host of local agents—magistrates, bureaucrats, parish priests, ranchers, miners, sugar producers, and many others—who knew little and cared less about the goals of th...

Aztec Latin
Soon after the fall of the Aztec empire in 1521, missionaries began teaching Latin to native youths in Mexico. This initiative was intended to train indigenous students for positions of leadership, but it led some of them to produce significant writings of their own in Latin, and to translate a wide range of literature, including Aesop's fables, into their native language. Aztec Latin reveals the full extent to which the first Mexican authors mastered and made use of European learning and provides a timely reassessment of what those indigenous authors really achieved.
Popular Piety and Political Identity in Mexico's Cristero Rebellion
Dr Butler provides a new interpretation of the cristero war (1926-29) which divided Mexico's peasantry into rival camps loyal to the Catholic Church (cristero) or the Revolution (agrarista). This book puts religion at the heart of our understanding of the revolt by showing how peasant allegiances often resulted from genuinely popular cultural and religious antagonisms. It challenges the assumption that Mexican peasants in the 1920s shared religious outlooks and that their behaviour was mainly driven by political and material factors. Focusing on the state of Michoacán in western-central Mexico, the volume seeks to integrate both cultural and structural lines of inquiry. First charting the u...

Espacios de saber, espacios de poder
Durante casi cuatro siglos la Iglesia −por medio de las órdenes religiosas, o de su otro brazo, el clero secular− se encargó de educar a la América española. Aquella compleja institución y la corona se hallaban del todo conscientes de la importancia de su empresa, pues implicaba la formación de las élites gobernantes, con principios ineludibles como la fidelidad a la doctrina cristiana, a la Iglesia y al rey, aunque al mismo tiempo se enseñaran habilidades necesarias para el gobierno y la explotación y administración de recursos. La institución no descuidó tampoco la enseñanza de primeras letras aun para poblaciones indígenas, y extendió su influencia, no sólo a la formac...
