History of Colonial Latin America

As I get ready to leave for this conference, I’m not able to churn out the on-line lectures as the rate I had hoped. I have two up on WebCT now [and no quizzes yet] when I had hoped to have 4. There will be another up early tomorrow and I hope to have the quizzes up for those up by Wednesday night, if I can find an internet connection. Those three will be all for this week; then I’ll try to have another batch of 3 or 4 up next weekend. See you next week — and enjoy The Mission!

Speaking of missions, this image is of a colonial-era statue of St Philip of Jesus. He was born in Mexico, became a Franciscan priest, and was martyred in the Japanese city of Nagasaki while on a mission in that country in 1597.
