Reviews

What stood at the centre of this processes, indeed what made it possible for local power struggles to be resolved, was a shared understanding of the principles of law, power, and authority which bound the early modern Spanish world together and which, as Ballone demonstrates, were fundamentally the same on both sides of the Atlantic. Francisco A. Eissa-Barroso, The University of Manchester, Manchester, UK [published June 2019 on The International Journal of Maritime History 31(2) - https://journals.sagepub.com/home/ijh] Superando la narrativa de las historias nacionales, Ballone apuesta por un enfoque atlantico para estudiar el tumulto de 1624. Asi, la autora concibe este conflicto no como algo restringido a la politica interna del virreinato de la Nueva Espana, sino como un fenomeno cuyas causas y repercusiones deben ser ubicadas en ambos lados del Oceano Atlantico, un espacio que es entendido mas en terminos de continuidad que de ruptura o separacion. Francisco Quijano, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico - UNAM (Mexico) [published the 22 January 2019, on the blog Los Reinos de las Indias en el Nuevo Mundo - https://losreinosdelasindias.hypotheses.org/ ] La autora sugiere de un modo convincente que la solucion del conflicto, - y los radicales cambios de postura de la corona - se explican tanto por la evolucion de las relaciones de poder en Madrid, y por los imperativos de la politica extranjera de Espana, como por el analisis que ella hace de la situacion local. (...) Reexaminando la crisis mexicana de 1624, Ballone logra innovar. Poniendo a debate la nocion de autoridad monarquica mediante el analisis de su ejercicio concreto, apropiandose de los objetos y de las herramientas de la historia de las redes y de los de la historia atlantica, la autora logra abrir nuevas perspectivas. Pierre Ragon, Universite de Paris Ouest Nanterre (France) [published the 17th of December 2018, on the blog Nuevo Mundo Mundos Nuevos - https://journals.openedition.org/nuevomundo/74030 ]
