Octavo (8 1/2" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's brown cloth with dark brown lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. In this case study of charging social stratification in the city of Antequera (now Oaxaca) during the period of Spanish rule, the author's central concern is the development and functioning of the sistema de castas--the system of ranked ethnic statuses, encoded in Spanish law, that emerged in response to the growth of the city's racially mixed population. Using parish records, lawsuits, and other archival sources, he demonstrates that this system was far from static throughout the three centuries of colonial rule and was not so rigid as most students of the period contend.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 107-139 pages with charts and bibliography. Royal octavo (10" x 6 3/4") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Ethnology Volume XXXV Number 2 complete issue. First edition. A study of Santiago Tecali, Mexico, during the colonial period suggests that the barrio system reflected an adaptation of indigenous social institutions as well as elements imposed by the Spanish. Before the arrival of the Spanish, the Nahua social organization was based on kinship and patronage networks controlled by noble houses. The Spanish imposed a territorial system that weakened the indigenous structure of kinship and patronage. The rural or satellite barrios were important in the 16th-17th centuries, but then declined. The urban barrio system developed gradually, reached a peak in 1770, and then declined as ethnic boundaries became eroded.

Paperback. Condition: New. Revised ed. Conquest of the Sierra depicts the colonial experience in the Sierra Zapoteca, a remote mountain region of Oaxaca, in southern Mexico. This densely populated region is inhabited by Zapotec, Chinantec, and Mixe Indians, whose pre-Hispanic societies lacked the wealth, valuable craft economies, and intergration with trade networks found in the better-known societies of the neighboring Mixteca and the Valley of Oaxaca. Even during the colonial period the region remained remote. Its sole Spanish settlement, Villa Alta, never supported more than a handful of colonists, and haciendas and mining were of little importance. Yet through the Spanish system of forced production, the Indians of the Sierra became one of New Spain's leading producers of cochineal dyestuffs and cotton textiles.Based on unpublished and hitherto untapped archival sources, this book traces the evolution of a unique regional colonial society. The activities of Spanish political officials, merchants, and the clergy of Villa Alta are detailed, but the principal focus is one the Indian communities-their population, settlement patterns, economy, religious practices, and sociopolitical organization. Of special interest is the emergence of late colonial Zapotec elites and their role in the forced production and trade-the repartimientos de efectos-conducted by Spanish magistrates.The Sierra Zapoteca differed significantly from other regions of Oaxaca and central Mexico with respect to the process of conquest, economic integration, religious syncretism, and social stratification. Conquest of the Sierra shows how a relatively undeveloped pre-Conquest culture, coupled with a highly monopolistic colonial economy, produced a distinctive variant of indigenous society in colonial Mexico.…
