De la contraportada

in this distinguished contribution to Latin American colonial history, Cope draws upon a wide variety of sources to challenge the traditional view of castas as rootless, alienated, and dominated by a desire to improve their racial status. A revealing look at the economic lives of the urban poor in the colonial era, this book examines a period in which critical social changes were occurring.
