Industry Reviews

"For more than a decade I have been teaching Latin American history and I keep returning to Burkholder and Johnson. While I have used other texts, student demand to have a balanced narrative assessing and analyzing the political, economic, social, and cultural factors that created Latin American society always pushes me back to this text in particular. From Ayllus to Zambos and Caciques to Conquistadors, no other text covers so much and explains it all so clearly."-- Matt D. Childs, University of South Carolina "I think the text is the best out there for colonial Lat. Am. It is well wrtitten and easily accessible. I wish it were shorter and that the social history chapters were differently organized to go more with my teaching." -Mark Carey, Washing and Lee University "For the colonial period, I have not found a better text than Burkholder and Johnson." -Patricia Harms, Brandon University "So often, we dream of seeing three simple words on the backs of our books: 'At long last...' Well, this book deserves them! At long last, we have before us a book that tackles the complexity and richness of the Spanish and Portugese colonial experiences with graceful and lively prose." -Matthew Redinger, Montana State University "The great advantage of this text is that the authors have covered most aspects of Colonial LA's political, economic, military, religious, and social history in a well-balanced compact narrative...I would adopt this text as the best one on the market for Colonial Latin America." - Stuart Hilwig, Adams State College
