| Publisher Description: Exemplary Violence explores the violent colonial history of the New Kingdom of Granada (modern-day Colombia and Venezuela) by examining three seventeenth-century historical accounts--Pedro Simón's Noticias historiales, Juan Rodríguez Freile's El carnero, and Lucas Fernández de Piedrahita's Historia general--each of which reveals the colonizer's reliance on the threat of violence to sustain order. |
