The seventeenth century has been characterized as 'Latin America's forgotten century. ' This landmark work, originally published in 1973, attempted to fill the vacuum in knowledge by providing an account of the first great colonial cycle in Spanish Central America. The colonial Spanish society of the sixteenth century was very different from that described in the eighteenth century. What happened in the Latin American colonies between the first conquests, the seizure of long-accumulated Indian wealth, the first silver booms, and the period of modern raw material supply? How did Latin America move from one stage to the other? What were these intermediate economic stages, and what effect did they have on the peoples living in Latin America? These questions continue to resonate in Latin American studies today, making this updated edition of Murdo J. MacLeod's original work more relevant than ever. Contents: A new introduction: More than three decades of writing on Spanish Central America, 1973-2006 / Murdo J. MacLeod; 1. The Central American background and conquest; 2. Slaves and silver: the first experts; 3. Ephemeral hopes; 4. Soconusco, a hint of things to come; 5. The cacao boom; 6. From conquest to the emergence of order and pattern; 7. The two republics, Indians and Spaniards, in the age of Encomienda; 8. Attempts to revive declining industries; 9. The search for new industries and trades; 10. Indigo, 1580-1720: possibilites and frustrations; 11. The effects of the crisis on local populations and economy; 12. The aftermath of a boom: seventeenth-century cacao; 13. Honduran mining: the emergence of a local industry and culture; 14. External trades in hte depth of the depression; 15. The currency crisis; 16. Men and land in mid-century: contraction and isolation; 17. The two republics in the years of depression; 18. Costa Rican cacao; 19. Signs of strain and change (c. 1685-1720); 20.
