'In its attention to the African contribution, and emphasis on the agency of actors at all levels of society and from all ethnic groups, Restall and Lane's work distinguishes itself from other broad histories of colonial Latin America. An excellent introduction to the region's historical complexity and diversity, this is an engaging survey sure to ignite interest among a broad array of students.' David T. Garrett, author of Shadows of Empire: The Indian Nobility of Cusco, 17501825, "Finally, a textbook that offers a broad panorama of colonial Latin American history as well as diverting asides into many of the fascinating anecdotes so loved by both students and instructors. Restall and Lane, among the liveliest and most engaging historians currently writing in this field, draw from the best of recent and classic historical scholarship to paint a dynamic portrait of colonial society, civilization, and religion, without neglecting politics or economics. With its detailed overview of the pre-colonial Americas and medieval Africa and Iberia along with a focus on the 'colonial middle,' and concluding with the 'Age of Change,' this text will work well to provide a framework for primary source collections. Latin America in Colonial Times elegantly conveys the nuances of colonial Latin America, never neglecting the details of daily life that capture students' attention. Scholars may even learn something new outside their areas of study." - Nicole von Germeten, Oregon State University, Advance praise: 'In its attention to the African contribution, and emphasis on the agency of actors at all levels of society and from all ethnic groups, Restall and Lane's work distinguishes itself from other broad histories of colonial Latin America.

Garrett, author of Shadows of Empire: The Indian Nobility of Cusco, 17501825, "This beautifully written text brings together the authors' broad geographic knowledge with the most current analysis of colonial Latin American history. Restall and Lane recenter that history around the interactions of natives, Europeans, and Africans and emphasize how, together, they created a new world."

Synopsis
Few milestones in human history are as dramatic and momentous as the meeting of three great civilizations on American soil in the sixteenth century. Latin America in Colonial Times presents that story in an engaging but scholarly new package, revealing how a new civilization - Latin America - emerged from that encounter. The authors give equal attention to the Spanish and Portuguese conquerors and settlers, to the African slaves they brought across the Atlantic and to the indigenous peoples whose lands were invaded. From the dawn of empires in the fifteenth century, through the conquest age of the sixteenth, to the end of empire in the nineteenth, Latin America in Colonial Times combines broad brush strokes with the anecdotal details that bring the era to life., Few milestones in human history are as dramatic and momentous as the meeting of three great civilizations on American soil in the sixteenth century.
