This classic history of the Mexican hacienda from the colonial period through the nineteenth century has been reissued in a silver anniversary edition complete with a substantive new introduction and foreword. Eric Van Young explores 150 years of Mexico's economic and rural development, a period when one of history's great empires was trying to extract more resources from its most important colony, and when an arguably capitalist economy was both expanding and taking deeper root. The author explains the development of a regional agrarian system, centered on the landed estates of late colonial Mexico, the central economic and social institution of an overwhelmingly rural society.

Rezensionen
This is a monumental work that will influence colonial historians of Mexico in the same manner as Brading, Bakewell, and Taylor have... Impeccable in its scholarship, this work is elegantly written. Latin America In Books Eric Van Young has written a major study of late colonial economic development, urban markets, and haciendas as economic institutions in the regional setting of central Jalisco...Students of early Latin American history will use this book often for its solid, clearly presented findings and for its many ideas about specific economic and social changes. It is an admirable step beyond all previous regional studies of land systems and economic change. -- William B.

In terms of technique and ideas it is an important contribution to the field of colonial economic and social history. -- Herman W. Konrad American Historical Review This is an excellent book. Colonial historians will long consider it required reading. -- Keith A. Davis Agricultural History A thoroughly satisfying book... Eric Van Young is the first author to attempt to analyze the colonial agricultural economy from the perspective of a regional marketing area rather than that of the local producing unit... an excellent contribution holding significance for all researchers interested in the economic and social history of Mexico. -- James D. Riley The Americas: A Quarterly Review Of Inter-American Cultural This is an important, meticulously researched and elegantly written study of a neglected region. Van Young is to be praised for providing a working geographical definition of what is an 'economic region,' and for looking at relations between city and countryside from both angles. -- G. P. C. Thomson London Times Literary Supplement…mehr
