Certain characters and their roles in the European conquest of America are well known: Christopher Columbus, Hernando Cortés, Francisco Pizarro, Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada, and a few others. Likewise, scholarly interest in the conquest has focused on the centers of great political, economic, and cultural entities such as the Aztec Empire in Mesoamerica and the Inca Empire in the Central Andes.
With this issue, the editors of The Americas introduce the Review Essay. These essays allow invited scholars the space and latitude to discuss two or more recently published works on a selected topic. Reviewers assess the collective contributions to a field, innovative perspectives, new knowledge, range of sources, and methods of interpretation.
