Vol. 40 No. 72 (2008): Ethnicity in the Old Regime

July to December 2008.

This issue offers historical collaborations around ethnicity in the colonial period in Peru. The article by José Carlos de la Puente about the trips of ethnic authorities to Spain to request grants from the king on behalf of the community stands out, revealing negotiations, vicissitudes and unsuspected advantages on the part of these ethnic gentlemen. Likewise, articles are presented on the Cabildo de los Veinticuatro Electores del Cuzco in the late colonial period, some questions on the religion of black slaves and the indigenismo of González Prada and Luis E. Valcárcel.
