Bøker av Victor Uribe-Uran

A revisionist and highly readable social and legal history of spousal murder in Spain, Colombia and Mexico, challenging dominant notions about the evolution of punishment and the character of legal, ethnic and gender relations and the culture of honor in the late colonial Spanish Atlantic.

This is the first work in English to discuss the social and political history of lawyers in a Latin American country. By exploring the lives of lawyers, Uribe-Uran is also able to focus on a general history of Latin America, while exploring key social and political changes and continuities from 1780 to 1850.
