Hispanic American Historical Review

From the editor's PREFATORY NOTE:
Originally published in 1942, this little book has
long been out of print. Despite the fact that its
publication apparently stimulated, and in any case
was followed by, a great increase in the volume of
historical writing on various aspects of its central
theme, it still remains the only compact account
of the subject. Also, although the subsequent flood
of publication on the subject has added many new
details and brought about some change of inter-
pretation and emphasis, most of the main con-
clusions of the original essays are as valid today
as when they were first stated two decades ago.
