xiv, 362p., b&w photo-insert section from period images, first edition cloth boards in dj. Entirely clean and sound, a very good copy. "The blending of four races in Mexico created a new people-- a 'cosmic race,' to use Jose Vasconcelos' evocative phrase" (p.4). From dj: "The authors contend that New Spain was neither feudal nor pre-capitalist as some Neo-Marxist authors have argued" - a "revisionist" p.o.v that argues that the colonial mining era enabled the creation of a mestizo society and the destruction of these mines has hobbled that creation to this day .that "only in New Spain did a true Mestizo society emerge, integrating Indians, Europeans, Afrricans and Asians into a unique cultural mix" .this view tainted with a whiff of neo-racism.

From the Inside Flap

"MacLachlan and Rodr�guez have written a masterly narrative history of pre-colonial and colonial Mexico. . . . In synthesizing a massive amount of recent scholarship, the authors have done great service. . . . The book will please the demanding scholar [as well as] the reader who wants an introduction to the history of Spain's richest colony."—James W. Wilkie
