"Almost 300 years of history are covered in this original, fun illustrated book featuring the trips, places, trades, customs, and characters that shaped the amazing universe of New Spain. New Spain was a colossal territory, expanding from what is now the southern United States to Nicaragua. It was a vast region in which indigenous people, Africans, mestizos, Asians, Spaniards, and the occasional Flemish, Portuguese, and English lived together, although not always harmoniously. Pirates, nuns, caciques, viceroys, slaves, and bureaucrats walked through the same streets and squares, and faced the perils of moving across towns, cities and oceans. Stepping away from the tedious heroes-and-villains school lectures on the colonial era, this book reminds us that, after the arrival of Cortâes in Yucatâan and before Miguel Hidalgo's declaration of the Mexican Independence, a complex and contrasting world was built and maintained in a delicate, fragile balance. Written by the renowned historian and writer âUrsula Camba Ludlow, Echoes of the New Spain is an exciting and vibrant journey through the centuries that shaped our present."--From publisher website.
