Kris Lane is Wakefield Distinguished Associate Professor of History, College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia.
." . . an engaging study that will appeal to a wide-ranging
audience interested in the Atlantic world and colonialism."
"Beautifully written and often thought provoking. It shows, as Lane
concludes, the common incongruity between the complex paths of
human lives and the major currents of history."
"Lane brings together social and economic data and narratives to
flesh out the experiences of people from various social
backgrounds. More than a snapshot of one particular year, this book
includes multiple images that, taken together, present the social
and economic realities of late-sixteenth- and
early-seventeenth-century Quito."
"This book is much like Quito itself, complex and layered with
meaning."
"What a fascinating mosaic Lane has left for readers to ponder."
