Originally published in Mexico as Gobierno y Sociedad en Nueva Espana, Ethelia Ruiz Medrano’s seminal study is now available in this updated English edition. Drawing on extensive archival research, Ruiz examines the developing colonial institutions in Mexico and how they changed indigenous land ownership and labor laws to favor the new bureaucrats. This portrait of the emerging government in New Spain fills a critical niche in Latin American studies.
