Religion and society are the
integral themes of Colonial Spanish America. Religion becomes the nexus
for much of what has been treated as political, social, economic, and
cultural history during this period. Society is just as inclusive,
allowing the reader to meet a variety of individuals-not faceless social
groups. While some familiar faces and voices are included-namely those
of Spanish conquerors, chroniclers, and missionaries-other, less
familiar points of view complement and complicate the better-known
narratives of this history. In treating Iberia and America, before as
well as after their meeting, apparent contradictions emerge as
opportunities for understanding; different perspectives become prompts
for wider discussion. Other themes include exploration; military and
spiritual conquest; and the formation, consolidation, reform, and
collapse of colonial institutions of government and the Church, and the
accompanying changes in the economy and labor.

Colonial Spanish America: A Documentary History is an excellent tool for Latin American history survey courses.
