Description:

This study supports the view that Lima’s ascent to viceregal “capital” was made rather than given. Alejandra Osorio examines certain key elements of the “making” or “inventing” of Lima as Peru’s viceregal capital. Through analysis of seventeenth-century ceremonies of state and local religious rituals, this book asserts that colonial Lima was culturally diverse and its rich population more integrated that historiography would suggest. Osorio also argues that colonial baroque culture fashioned Spain’s American dominions as the colonial city itself became a public locus of political power and cultural production.
