Reviews"Knight .... has written a general history of Mexico that synthesizes a rich base of published sources... Recommended." Choice, ‘… a history of Mexico which promises to become a major addition the the historiography of Latin America.’The English Historical Review, Professor Knight's new book is a fine one. It is a piece of scholarship well-presented, interesting, and very suggestive." Itinerario, "The best Anglophone synoptic history of Mexico...Knight's volumes offer both unity of approach and authorial voice and a considerable level of detail...The dry humour and invocations of other histories, not to mention the sparkling writing, make the book a delight to read...a book that displays both high sophistication and accessibility." Eric Van Young, University of California at San Diego, The International History Review, '… a history of Mexico which promises to become a major addition the the historiography of Latin America.' The English Historical Review, '... a history of Mexico which promises to become a major addition the the historiography of Latin America.' The English Historical Review, '... a history of Mexico which promises to become a major addition the the historiography of Latin America.'The English Historical Review, "...an essential resource not only for historians of Mexico and Latin America but also of the European overseas expansion. Knight's work represents scholarly synthesis as its best: it offers both information and interpretation and is upheld by a massive body of documentation."

SynopsisThis 2002 book is the second in a three-volume history of Mexico, a major work that conveys the full sweep of Mexican history in all its social, economic, and political diversity. Focusing on the period from 1521 to 1821, Volume 2 offers a comprehensive narrative and analysis of colonial Mexico following the Spanish conquest. In explaining colonial patterns of development, Alan Knight pays particular attention to the political economy of the colony: the formation and growth of the hacienda and its impact on the Indian peasantry; the dynamics of the colonial state and its relationship to the church; the role of trade, demography, warfare and taxation; and contrasting patterns of regional development, of class and ethnic conflict, and of popular protest in both city and countryside. The book concludes with an analysis of the accumulating tensions of the Bourbon era and of the bloody struggle for Mexican independence., This 2002 book, the second in a three-volume history of Mexico, focuses on the period 1521 to 1821, and offers a comprehensive narrative and analysis of colonial Mexico following the Spanish conquest.
