Rooted in his own deep research of the larger period, this work demonstrates a familiarity with interpretations of the event, and begs the reader to think beyond common polarities of colonizer and colonized, and to understand nuance and potential for divergent understandings of such events at the time and after.\" —Jay T.

Historian Joseph P. Sánchez argues that the revolts of the Tepehuanes and the Tarahumaras in northern New Spain, or Nueva Vizcaya, were well-planned, inspired by outside events, and drew in multiple communities and ethnicities. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, including Jesuit accounts and archival documents, Sánchez offers a comprehensive narrative that challenges conventional interpretations of colonial Mexican uprisings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFar from localized, the Indigenous rebellions in the northern Mexican borderlands during the colonial period were part of the overall Indigenous struggle for defense of homeland throughout the Americas. \u003ci\u003eThe Tarahumara Rebellion of 1690 \u003c\/i\u003e brings together a rich history of localized events and broader historical trends and offers a compelling narrative that enriches our understanding of the colonial experience in northern New Spain.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"The University of Arizona Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52570058522904,"sku":"9780816555857","price":60.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-tarahumara-rebellion-of-1690-embattled-settlers-and-missionaries-in-northern-new-spain-hardback-9780816555857","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
