This well-written book is useful to anyone wanting to learn more about Velasco and Peruvian society as a whole during these years. It will not satisfy those looking for archival notes or engagements with comparative theories of populism, but that is not the aim of the book. (There is a bibliographic essay at the end of the book, 14 pages of scholarship published in Spanish.) It is a book that will fit well in the hands of a history professor or a casual reader, and Rojas Rojas should be applauded for this slim volume with plenty of narrative and analytical power.

The recent revelations about slave owning at Georgetown in the nineteenth century have resulted in a renewed interest in Jesuit views on the frequently intertwined issues of slavery and race. In this volume, historians of the Society of Jesus address the question of race (and to some extent, of slavery) from various perspectives, from the order’s foundation in the mid sixteenth century to the present day, although the main focus is on the early modern period (the “Old Society”).

Cadeau’s book is sure to become a leading historical account of the systematic campaign to purge the Dominican Republic of Haitians. A rigorous and scholarly tone undergirds the narrative, substantiated by both primary and secondary sources, even though some are problematic. The book is highly recommended to scholars whose research is focused on the history and treatment of Haitians in the Dominican Republic, in the past as well as in the present.

Abstract In the Spanish monarchy, corporations, religious orders, and other petitioners kept procurators in Madrid to lobby the royal councils on their behalf. Drawing on an efficient network of information, the Madrid-based Jesuit procurators were known for their insistence on solving the financial and personnel needs of several missions throughout the New World. This article analyzes a series of petitions composed by Antonio Ruiz de Montoya in the late 1630s on behalf of Jesuit missions in Paraguay. These missions had been harassed by Portuguese slavers, who captured tens of thousands of natives in this region. Ruiz de Montoya's petitions reveal that the Jesuits’ lobbying actions had a much greater impact than has been assumed. Far from confining themselves to asking for material and human resources for the missions, the Jesuits proposed that the Spanish crown make a large-scale intervention in the administration of Portuguese domains in the South Atlantic, a program that Madrid would have implemented were it not for Portuguese independence in 1640.

A number of photographs are scattered throughout the chapters. One of note is that of Josefina Fierro de Bright, a leading Mexican American civil rights activist who helped organize the Sleepy Lagoon Defense Committee in the 1940s. Her mother, Josefa Fierro, was a vital member of La Junta. Among other things, she smuggled guns into Mexico in support of insurgent actions. This, along with a long and tangled cast of characters and events, compels careful and engaged reading. Those who undertake it are rewarded by sentences like “Corral hung a cloak of falsehoods over the raids” (246) and “It was the Twitter feed of the printing press era” (255).
章节中散布着许多照片。值得注意的是Josefina Fierro de Bright，她是一位墨西哥裔美国民权活动家，在20世纪40年代帮助组织了Sleepy Lagoon防御委员会。她的母亲约瑟法·菲耶罗(Josefa Fierro)是军政府的重要成员。除此之外，她还向墨西哥走私枪支，以支持叛乱活动。这一点，再加上一长串错综复杂的人物和事件，迫使读者仔细而入迷地阅读。那些接受采访的人得到的奖励是“科拉尔在突袭行动中披着一层谎言的斗篷”(246)和“这是印刷机时代的推特”(255)。

This is a unique and curious book. Using a dictionary format, the authors deal with a long list of religious concepts, comparing each as it was considered in fifteenth-century Spain, precontact Mexico, sixteenth-century Spain, and sixteenth-century Mexico. The concepts listed, 140 of them, are an odd lot: some clearly come from Christianity (baptism, communion, crucifix, original sin, and the like) while others come from the religion of the Mexica (arrow, bird, eagle, sacred bundle). Others seem to be vague enough to allow for comparison (creation, dance, death, flower).
