Publisher's Synopsis

Tamar Herzog studies the judiciary in Quito, during 17th and 18th centuries, and shows that in this remote Spanish colony, order was a communal enterprise. The dominant rules were social and theological rather than legal. She reveals the intimacy of relations between the state and this early modern society.
