The King's Living Image
To rule their vast new American territories, the Spanish monarchs appointed viceroys in an attempt to reproduce the monarchical system of government prevailing at the time in Europe. But despite the political significance of the figure of the viceroy, little is known about the mechanisms of viceregal power and its relation to ideas of kingship. Examining this figure, The King's Living Image challenges long-held perspectives on the political nature of Spanish colonialism, recovering, at the same time, the complexity of the political discourses and practices of Spanish rule. It does so by studying the viceregal political culture that developed in New Spain in the sixteenth and seventeenth cent...

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...
Des Indes occidentales à l'Amérique latine
De part et d'autre de l'Atlantique, deux mondes longtemps unis sous l'autorité d'une même couronne, qu'elle soit espagnole ou portugaise, ont fini par se séparer au début du xixesiècle. Les Indes occidentales sont alors devenues l'Amérique latine mais les héritages préhispaniques et coloniaux n'ont pas cessé d'influencer les paysages urbains, les sociétés rurales et les mentalités collectives du monde latino-américain. Réunies pour rendre hommage au professeur Jean-Pierre Berthe, les quarante-six contributions présentées ici veulent donner de ce vaste ensemble, hétérogène sur le plan politique mais cohérent sur le plan culturel, une vision dynamique fondée sur la prise e...
