As part of Brill's Companions to the Americas series, this volume presents current interdisciplinary research focused on the Peruvian viceregal capital. From ancient roots to its foundation by Pizarro, Lima was transformed into an imperial capital positioned between Atlantic and Pacific exchange networks. An international team of scholars examines issues ranging from literary history, politics, and religion to philosophy, historiography, and modes of intercontinental influence. The volume is divided into four sections: urban development, politics and government, society, and culture. The essays collectively represent the scope of contemporary approaches, methodologies, and source materials pertinent to the study of sixteenth-century Lima, a city at the center of global interchange in the early modern world"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on August 02, 2019) Subject Urbanization -- Peru -- Lima -- History -- 16th century Spaniards -- Peru -- Lima -- History -- 16th century Imperialism -- Social aspects -- Peru -- Lima -- History -- 16th century Civilization Colonization Imperialism -- Social aspects Politics and government Social conditions Spaniards Spanish colonies Urbanization SUBJECT Lima (Peru) -- History -- 16th century Lima (Peru) -- Politics and government -- 16th century Lima (Peru) -- Social conditions -- 16th century Lima (Peru) -- Civilization -- 16th century Lima (Peru) -- Colonization Spain -- Colonies -- America Subject America Peru -- Lima Genre/Form History Form Electronic book Author Engel, Emily A., 1978- editor.
