This study of the structure of government and society in late colonial Peru is based upon detailed examination of the operation of the viceroyalty of the system of administration by intendants, partly in response to the demands for better provincial government expressed by the Túpac Amaru rebellion. Fisher examines relations between the intendants and other groups of administrators, and brings out the revolutionary implications of their attempts to stimulate municipal life and government and assesses Peru’s increasing political and administrative instability upon the application of the viceroyalty of the Constitution of Cádiz.
John R. Fisher is Emeritus Professor of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies in the Department of Modern Languages at the University of Liverpool, UK.
