Volume I is a compendium of data from the former Reino de Guatemala prior to independence from Spain. Documentation from archives in Seville, Madrid & Central America. Markman provides a derrotero, a navigational chart, with "sailing instructions" to the scholar searching for elusive information. Text includes data difficult to access. Observance of "America 500." Bibliography & index. In English & Spanish. "This is without a doubt a true work of art. It is crafted to perfection, almost as precisely as if executed with the same rule & compass as were used to draw the plans of the Spanish towns. The information encourages Central American research." - Francisco de Solano, Centro de Estudios Historicos, Madrid. "I consider Professor Markman's new work of the utmost importance for all the scholars of the history of art in Latin America...This work will join those of Hanke, Whitaker, & Bolton." - Jose Antonio Calderon Quijano, Escuela de Estudios Hispano- Americanos, Sevilla. "This is a very important research work...one of the more valuable...contributions to the Quincentenial." - Antonio Bonet Correa, Ciudad Universitaria, Madrid. The second of a two-volume work on the topic provides a helpful index to the scholar searching for elusive information on architecture & urbanization of colonial Central America. In many instances, Markman's illustrations provide the only visual evidence extant of colonial buildings & townscapes in Reino de Guatemala. ISBN 0- 87918-080-3.

This book tells the story of how the monarchy aimed at creating a new capital city in a remote and forgotten area of the empire. It also shows how the local Creole bourgeoisie rapidly assumed the role of urban developers, and enhanced their economic status by investing in and controlling the Buenos Aires’ property market. In a short period, from 1776 to 1810, the urban transformation of Buenos Aires helped increase the Crown’s revenues and considerably reduced contraband trade. Nevertheless, urban changes generated an internal struggle for power for the control of the city between the Spanish loyalist and the local wealthier Creoles. As this book concludes, for an empire such as the Spanish, which was built upon a network of cities, the Crown’s loss of the control of Buenos Aires’ urban space was a serious threat to its power that foreshadowed Argentina’s wars of independence.
