; "In this milestone work, William Fowler uses archaeology, history, and social theory
to show that the establishment of cities was essential to Spanish colonialism. Fowler
draws upon decades of archaeological research on the landscape, built environment,
and architecture of Ciudad Vieja, a sixteenth-century site located in present-day
El Salvador and the best-preserved Spanish colonial city in Latin America.Fowler compares
Ciudad Vieja to other urban sites in the region and to the tradition of urbanism in
early modern Spain to determine how the Spanish grid-plan layout was modified and
implemented in the Americas. Using extensive archival material, Fowler describes how
this layout reflected and perpetuated power structures that benefitted the Spanish
although the city's Indigenous population was greater in number. Fowler analyzes recorded
interactions between colonists, Indigenous peoples, and enslaved Africans to demonstrate
the ways the cityscape affected the relationships among individuals and cultural groups.Offering
an unparalleled view into a critical moment in Latin American history, this book offers
new ways of looking at urbanism and colonialism as intertwined forces in the emergence
of the early modern world"
