Boulder, CO.: Westview Press, 1997. Scholarly text presents a compelling history of imperialism in the New World, in which the author explores the role of smuggling in colonial Spanish America. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, he sheds important new light on the depth and intensity of political corruption and commercial illegalities in the Spanish empire.
