SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Deterioration of the soil-water regime, marginalization of the indigenous majority, and the formation of latifundia were reflected in the formation of an archetypically New World landscape that has mystified the history both of the land and its inhabitants, and led to policies that treat the symptoms of environmental degradation rather than the cause.
Text of Note
This book is about the biological conquest of the New World. It explores the idea that the transformation of the biological regime associated with the introduction of Old World species into New World ecosystems enabled the conquest of indigenous populations and the domination of vast areas of rural space. It uses the sixteenth-century history of a region of highland central Mexico as a case study and focuses on the changes associated with the introduction of Old World grazing animals. The study spells out in detail the processes that enabled the Spanish takeover of land, and clarifies the role of environmental change in the evolution of colonial society; it is suggested that the formation of a stable colonial regime constituted the conquest process.
