Congratulations to Christoph Rosenmüller! His book, Viceroy Güemes’s Mexico: Rituals, Religion, and Revenue, has won the Bandelier/Lavrin Book Prize in Colonial Latin American History from the Rocky Mountain Council for Latin American Studies. Named to honor two pioneers in the history of the Spanish American empire, the first working in the early days of the field, the second who forged a path in colonial history and served as a model for female historians in the profession, this prize is awarded to the outstanding book published by a member of the association in the previous calendar year on the subject of colonial Latin American history. BRAVO! 🎉 Viceroy Güemes’s Mexico: Rituals, Religion, and Revenue examines the career of Juan Francisco Güemes y Horcasitas, viceroy of New Spain from 1746 to 1755.
