Katie Holt commented on the post, Revised research idea: Aztec midwifery and birth, on the site Colonial Latin America 4 years, 6 months ago
Excellent topic, and you’ve found some very good sources to get you started. You might look for some work by historians to compliment (perhaps replace) the NG article.
If you can read Spanish, this looks […]

Katie Holt commented on the post, Revised Research Idea: Independence movements and Simon Bolivar, on the site Colonial Latin America 4 years, 6 months ago
Great idea to use Bolivar as a lens to examine regional revolutionary fervor. The Lynch is a classic: you might consider replacing the Roberts (which looks brief and biographical) with something like the article […]

Katie Holt commented on the post, Research: Christopher Columbus effects on the New World and a comparison of how he was depicted then versus now, on the site Colonial Latin America 4 years, 6 months ago
I agree: critical biography is a great way to balance a deep study of one individual with your analysis of the larger historical context. Make sure you’re picking scholarly sources that represent current thinking […]

Great topic. Make sure you’re looking for some recent secondary sources as well (that will let you look at a variety of perspectives on Aztec religion). The Barrera is a library/alumni magazine piece and not […]

So, you’re in luck: the primary source you’re looking for is reprinted in the digitized volumes of the Revista de la Biblioteca Nacional https://catalogo.bn.gov.ar/F/?func=direct&doc_number=001213120&local_base=GENER

You’ve found some great secondary sources!
Dylan’s suggestion to look at the general Argentine source reader is an excellent idea: http://consort.library.denison.edu/record=b2304973~S6 -

This is a very promising topic! Your peers make some great suggestions on narrowing your focus to concentrate on a particular genre of music (or type of instrument). Did reading the Credo overview articles help […]

Katie Holt commented on the post, Updated Research Question, on the site Colonial Latin America 4 years, 6 months ago
Your peers make valuable suggestions! Some of the early chapters from Kathryn Burns’ Colonial Habits (about Cuzco) should prove valuable: http://consort.library.denison.edu/record=b2052492~S6

Katie Holt commented on the post, Sources and Ideas, on the site Colonial Latin America 4 years, 6 months ago
I like your idea about a close examination of a single (important!) map as a way to think about colonialism/ colonial science. Come see me if you’re looking for secondary source article ideas.

Katie Holt commented on the post, Narrowed Research Idea, on the site Colonial Latin America 4 years, 6 months ago
Great ideas (and high-quality sources) Miki! As you learn more, I think it will help to narrow to a geographical region / few specific food examples. Great topic for an image-rich presentation format!

Abby makes an excellent secondary source selection!
I can’t get your links to work – can you post the titles, please? -
Katie Holt commented on the post, Revised Research, on the site Colonial Latin America 4 years, 6 months ago
You get some great ideas from your peers! It might help to focus geographically (at least for your central case study) so you can make a more in-depth analysis. Good, high-quality sources. I like Jaz’s ideas […]

I’m having trouble finding an English translation of Vicuña Mackenna’s book, but I’ll keep looking.
Was Crow’s bibliography any help in your search for primary sources?
