The Colonial Spanish-American City: Urban Life in the Age of Atlantic Capitalism

Selected Bibliography

Selected Bibliography G Since notes have been kept to a minimum in this book, I have included in the Bibliography not only the works cited but also studies that nevertheless informed the writing of the book and would be of interest to a reader.Whenever possible, I have avoided including unpublished doctoral dissertations since these are rarely available in libraries. Some excellent places to begin a study of Spanish-American urban development during the colonial period are Francisco de Solano, ed., Estudios sobre la ciudad iberoamericana (Madrid: Instituto ‘‘Gonzalo Fernández De Oviedo,’’ 1975), especially Solano’s essay ‘‘El proceso urbano iberoamericano desde sus orígenes hasta los principios del siglo XIX: Estudio bibliográfico,’’ 727–858; Richard P. Schaedel et al., eds., Urbanization in the Americas from Its Beginnings to the Present (The Hague: Mouton, 1978); Jorge E. Hardoy et al., Urbanización en América Latina: Una bibliografía sobre su historia , 2 vols. (Buenos Aires: Instituto Torcuato Di Tella, 1975); and Hardoy’s Cartografía urbana colonial de América Latina y el Caribe (Buenos Aires: Grupo Editor Latinoamericano, 1991).Valuable introductions are Richard L. Kagan, Urban Images of the Hispanic World, 1493–1793 (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2000); Francisco de Solano, Ciudades hispanoamericanas y pueblos de indios (Madrid: Consejo Superior de Investigaciones, 1990); José Luis Romero, Latinoamérica: Las ciudades y las ideas (Buenos Aires: Siglo XXI Argentina Editores, S.A., 1976); and Graziano Gasparini, ed., Arquitectura colonial iberoamericana (Caracas: Armitano Editores, 1997). Gasparini’s bibliography (553–565) is very helpful. Three other anthologies are extremely important introductions: Jorge E. Hardoy, ed., Urbanization in Latin America: Approaches and Issues (pb.; Garden City, N.Y.: Anchor Press/Doubleday, 1975), Jorge E. Hardoy and Richard P. Schaedel, eds., Las ciudades de América Latina y sus areas de in- fluencia a través de la historia (Buenos Aires: Ediciones SIAP, 1976), and Louisa Schell Hoberman and Susan Migden Socolow, eds., Cities and Society in Colonial Latin America (pb.; Albuquerque: University of New Mexico 157 the colonial spanish-american city Press, 1986). Still of value are Woodrow Borah, ‘‘Trends in Recent Studies in Colonial Latin American Cities,’’ Hispanic American Historical Review 64:3 (Aug. 1984), 535–554; and Fred Bronner, ‘‘Urban Society in Colonial Spanish America: Recent Trends,’’ Latin American Research Review 21:1 (1986), 7– 72. Additionally, suggestions for further readings can be found in my books listed below. Many ‘‘coffee-table’’ books about colonial cities contain excellent plates of houses, public buildings, churches, and maps. Online catalogs almost always include examples of such books. Laws governing the founding and administering of urban habitats as well as almost everything pertaining to the urban economy and society are found in the Recopilación de leyes de los reynos de las Indias, 3 vols. (Madrid: Consejo de la Hispanidad, 1943); Richard Konetzke, ed., Colección de documentos para la historia de la formación social de Hispanoamérica, 1493–1810, 2 vols. (Madrid: Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 1953–1959); and Francisco de Solano, ed., Normas y leyes de la ciudad hispanoamericana, 2 vols. (Madrid: Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 1996). Ajofrín, Fray Francisco de.
