El levantamiento delahuertista

"Juan Caballero es contratado para rescatar a un niño, heredero de una inmensa fortuna y, lo que prometía ser un caso fácil, se complica a cada momento ya que el investigador debe pedirle a los muertos que hablen, sin pasar a ser uno de ellos y buscar las claves en el tortuoso pasado de los involucrados. En esta azorosa travesía por el D.F., la gran ciudad nos parecerá otra"--P. [4] of cover.

"Excellent study of the Dominican Order in the 16th century. Avoids a chronological account giving the reader instead a methodical analysis of the institutional, social, and economic organization of the order. To the prototypes of the urban and the rural convents, Pita Moreda adds a balanced assessment of the missionary activities"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

"Thorough study of the cathedral cabildo--the ruling body of the Episcopal church--in the important diocesis of Michoacán. Covers the entire colonial period. The cabildo is analyzed as a collegiate body aware of its historical identity, its responsibilities and duties, and its relationship with the bishop. Traces important nuances in the evolution of this body. Sustained by strong archival research, this is a commendable history of a key part of the secular church"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
