Title: Hacendados y capitales
First published: 1994
Description: "Interesting study of four hacienda owners in the region of Coatepec, Veracruz, in the late colonial period. Focuses on the acquisition of the properties, their administration, the manner of obtaining credit, and general management. This prosopography identifies two types of landowners: traditionalist and reformist, the latter being new arrivals influenced by the Enlightenment. Both types sought stability and security in their operations and relations with the indigenous people. Largely based on notarial archives"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
