Beschreibung

"Empire of Law" shows how seventeenth-century Indian claimants, by litigating and petitioning before Mexico City tribunals, became full participants in an early modern cosmopolitan legality that gave rise to a colonial politics of justice that struggled, with some success, against the utter degradation of subject peoples.
