The impact of his Middle Hill Press edition of Juan de Tovar's text on Mesoamerican studies in the second half of the nineteenth century is examined.

Opening new frontiers in colonial Spanish American history: new perspectives on indigenous-Spanish interactions on the margins of empire Williams, CA Over the past decade, the frontiers of Latin America have received an important scholarly boost, thanks to the research of a number of scholars who have shifted the focus away from the sedentary societies that the Spanish encountered in Mesoamerica and the Andean region to examine the protracted and difficult process whereby Spaniards incorporated, or attempted to incorporate, the mainly non-sedentary or semi-sedentary peoples who inhabited the margins of empire. Common to all these studies is a concern to explore the agency of indigenous peoples, and as this essay will show, they shed new light on, and contribute greatly to our understanding of, Indian responses to the challenges posed by Spanish colonization and missionization in regions long neglected in the historical literature.

Politics on the streets: popular political culture in the Austrian First Republic Allinson, MA This paper considers the incidence of mass politics in the First Austrian Republic on the basis of police reports in the Austrian archives, and with particular reference to the forms taken by public meetings, marches and outdoor demonstrations. It reveals that there was a very active mass politics in the Austrian First Republic, often characterised by real or potential violence. The civil war episodes of 1927 and 1934 should be seen in a much broader continuum of politics on the streets, in Vienna and beyond. The article also concludes that policing of such activities was often politically biased for most of the Republic's history, and particularly after 1931, and that this response by the authorities contributed to an increased readiness to depart from democratic norms well before the advent of the Dollfuss era and the formal end of Austrian democracy in 1933.
