Me neither.
And congratulations Darrell on writing this book - an extremely important but hitherto unresearched topic. I look forward to reading it.
Best wishes, Jason

> "Making a New World creates a compelling new history of world
> capitalism in the early modern era, with Mexico at its center. It also
> provides a comprehensive history of the Bajío, the dynamic mining and
> agricultural region crucial to understanding the socio-cultural,
> economic, and political history of Mexico. This exciting, well
> researched book makes us reconsider what we thought we knew about the
> Atlantic world." Steve J. Stern, University of Wisconsin-Madison

> "Making a New World is a fascinating, bold, and challenging study. It
> is destined to be an indispensable source, the book of first resort on
> Mexico's most dynamic region in the years leading up to Independence.
> Braudelian in ambition and range, it offers a virtual histoire totale
> of the Bajío. Serious attention is given to power, patriarchy,
> capitalist production, labor, social relations, and culture; the
> powerful and the poor; and the rural and the urban. Provocative ideas
> and hypotheses abound." William B. Taylor, author of Magistrates of
> the Sacred: Priests and Parishioners in Eighteenth-Century Mexico
>
>
>
> "John Tutino's book is a culminating achievement to more than thirty
> years of early New World social history. Yet it significantly improves
> on even the best of that work by framing New Spain in relation to
> North America and the wider world, showing how gender was crucial to
> the basic patterns of people's lives, and illuminating social
> formations that have remained largely unknown until now."--Peter
> Guardino, author of The Time of Liberty: Popular Political Culture in
> Oaxaca, 1750-1850

>
> Making a New World is a major rethinking of the role of the Americas
> in early world trade, the rise of capitalism, and the conflicts that
> reconfigured global power around 1800. At its centre is the Bajío, a
> fertile basin extending across the modern-day Mexican states of
> Guanajuato and Querétaro, northwest of Mexico City. The Bajío became
> part of a new world in the 1530s, when Mesoamerican Otomís and
> Franciscan friars built Querétaro, a town that quickly thrived on
> agriculture and trade. Settlement accelerated as regional silver mines
> began to flourish in the 1550s. Silver tied the Bajío to Europe and
> China; it stimulated the development of an unprecedented commercial,
> patriarchal, Catholic society. A frontier extended north across vast
> expanses settled by people of European, Amerindian, and African
> ancestry. As mining, cloth making, and irrigated cultivation
> increased, inequities deepened and religious debates escalated.
> Analyzing the political
economy, social relations, and cultural conflicts that animated the Bajío and Spanish North America from 1500 to 1800, John Tutino depicts an engine of global capitalism and the tensions that would lead to its collapse into revolution in 1810.
