We, the King: Creating Royal Legislation in the Sixteenth-Century Spanish New World

We, the King reveals how ordinary subjects aided and abetted law-making in the Spanish Empire, demonstrating how its policies, racial categories, and society were created from the “bottom up”. An important study for scholars of Colonial Latin America, this work reassesses our understandings of kingship, empire, race, and colonialism.
