Bøger af Christopher H. Lutz

Reexamines the Spanish conquest of Guatemala to give us a greater appreciation of indigenous involvement in it, and sustained opposition to it. The authors develop a fresh perspective on Pedro de Alvarado as well as the alliances forged with native groups that facilitated Spanish objectives.

This study traces the demographic and social history of Santiago de Guatemala, from its establishment in 1541 until the earthquakes of 1773. Lutz focuses on the rise of groups of mixed descent, evolving from a segmented society of Indians, Spaniards and African slaves.
