Vol. 40 No. 71 (2008): Legal Culture in the New World

January to June 2008.

This monographic issue coordinated by José de la Puente Brunke offers a set of articles on legal culture in the New World: the conception of Indian justice, the functioning of the courts and the administration of justice, as well as the colonial dynamics of jails and prisons. All these contributions are related to true specialists on the subject, whose work has focused particularly on the southern region of the American continent such as Charcas, Río de la Plata and Peru.
