This chapter examines the modifications in policies, methodology, and objectives of idolatry eradicators in Nahua communities in Central Mexico during the period from 1571 to 1662. It analyzes the career of important secular extirpators in the region which include Pedro Ponce de León, Hernando Ruiz de Alarcón, and Jacinto de la Serna. It provides a contextual analysis of the Nahua ritual genre called nahualtocaitl and discusses indigenous use of several plants with hallucinogenic effects and Nahua hybrid healing practices.Less

This chapter considers the new directions of the Spanish novel in the 1920s and 1930s in the group of novelists generally known as avant-gardists, who produced a corpus of novels distinct in many ways from their modernist predecessors. Inspired by a new set of representational possibilities in the arts, interested in ground-breaking philosophical concepts that demanded new ways of thinking about space, time, and new forms of technology, together they created and shared a number of narrative practices that they hoped would reshape the perception of art and its social purpose. Many of these authors would eventually join forces with the radical political movements of their day. Highly experimental and ultimately unsustainable in its pure form, the avant-garde novel served as a way to experiment with a set of widely circulating ideas about what literature could or should be and to work out the individual politics of the authors.Less

By considering Bourbon Peru in a chronological framework that begins at mid-century rather than 1700, this book focuses the reader's attention on the key issue of the relationship between colonial reform in the late eighteenth century and the creation of an independent Peruvian state in the 1820s. It sets out some uncluttered responses to this question, emphasising continuities between the two forms of regime rather than change. The book's arguments are underpinned by a review of the major elements of Peru's economic, social, and political development for the half century from 1750. The study concludes with a detailed analysis of the independence period (1810–1824), which provides an interpretation of unrest in the highlands of royalist Peru, the dying days of the viceroyalty under Jose de la Serna (1821–1824) in Cusco, and the attempts to reach a negotiated settlement with the patriots under Jose de San Martín.Less
