About the Book

This study 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 than historiography would suggest.

Table of Contents:
Introduction Lima in the Historical Imagination Cities and the Construction of the Spanish Hapsburg World Empire A Tale of Two Imperial Cities: Lima's Rivalry with Cuzco to Represent Peru Making Lima Kingly: Royal Simulacra, Ritual, and Imperial Rule Making Lima Courtly: The Viceroy as the King's 'Alter Ego,' His Court, and Colonial Rule Disciplining Lima: The Auto de fe and Colonial Justice and Authority Making Lima Saintly: Confessionalism and the Making of a Catholic Colonial Subject Mapping Lima's Reign: The Work of Ritual, Colonial Paper, and the Archive in Ruling Over the Viceregal Realm Bourbon Transformations to the Hapsburg Urban World Epilogue

About the Author :
ALEJANDRA OSORIO is Assistant Professor of History at Wellesley College, USA.

Review :
"The book s strength lies in shedding light on the city s historical invention, its courtly production, and its modern metropolitan flare, which made it hardly a peripheral creature of the world system . . .Osorio provides a new way of critiquing the relationship between core and periphery, which will provoke much debate." - American Historical Review "Inventing Lima is a fascinating study of the rise to prominence of a Spanish colonial city. It also represents an important contribution to a better understanding of the crucial role that cities played in the Spanish transatlantic empire. The book is full of penetrating insights into the symbolic nature and function of colonial cities and brings some fresh air to our perception of the history of colonial Peru. The author not only demonstrates that she is well versed in the most cutting-edge studies on the nature of early modern cities, but her research also powerfully contributes to a rethinking of some of our most cherished assumptions regarding the role played by Lima in the course of Peruvian history." - Dr. Alejandro Cañeque, Durham University, UK"[A] small but highly original work... Highly recommended." - CHOICE
