Description: "Despite being well beyond the reviewing time frame, this excellent history of the city of Lima by two of Peru's finest historians deserves careful attention by urban historians and generalists as well. Tracing Lima's history from its origins in the 16th century, examines the city from the perspective of its various barrios. Also emphasizes key social and political issues that dominated Lima's public affairs. The emergence of the pueblos jovenes in the years following the Odría regime is given careful attention"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
