Description

Explore the complex political landscape of colonial Mexico with The King's Living Image. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work examines how Spanish monarchs attempted to replicate European monarchical systems in their vast American territories through the appointment of viceroys. While the viceroy was a central political figure, the specific mechanisms of their power and their connection to broader ideas of kingship have often remained misunderstood. This book challenges traditional views on the nature of Spanish colonialism by recovering the specific political discourses and practices used during Spanish rule. By studying the role of the viceroy, readers gain a deeper understanding of how authority was exercised and maintained in the New World. This text provides a necessary look at the political structures that shaped the Atlantic world, making it an essential resource for those studying history, politics, and the colonial era.
