1. Most notable are the contributions of Noble David Cook, Herbert Klein, Franklin Pease, Nicolás Sánchez-Albornoz, Karen Spalding, Steve Stern, Enrique Tandeter, Ann Wightman, and Nathan Wachtel.

2. See especially the works of Rolena Adorno, Sabine MacCormack, and Irene Silverblatt.

3. Works by Kendall Brown, Keith Davies, and Susan Ramírez on colonial Peru have contributed to the rigor of this regional perspective. See Brown, Bourbons and Brandy: Imperial Reform in Eighteenth-Century Arequipa (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1986); Davies, Landowners in Colonial Peru (Austin: University of Texas Press, 1984); and Ramírez, Provincial Patriarchs: Land Tenure and the Economics of Power in Colonial Peru (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1986).

10. Autarky might be a better concept to employ in describing the condition of Quito in the seventeenth century.

11. This perspective has been taken to new levels in Mark Thurner, From Two Nations to One Divided: Contradictions of Postcolonial Nationmaking in Andean Peru (Durham, N.C.: Duke University Press, 1997).
