Insurgentes y realistas

Explica los antecedentes históricos y limítrofes entre Perú y Ecuador antes de la guerra de 1941 y del Conflicto del Alto Cenepa en 1995. Señala las primeras descripciones territoriales de la Audiencia de Lima desde la Época del Descubrimiento y Conquista hasta el Tratado de Pando-Novoa suscrito en 1832, Tratado de Amistad y Alianza, fruto de la primera misión ecuatoriana al Perú. También trata sobre las primeras relaciones exteriores peruano-ecuatorianas y los precedentes peruano-colombianos.

Se intenta atrapar los retos que enfrenta la constitución de un campo de conocimientos en el Ecuador: el de género y ambiente.

"Publishes - mostly for the first time - 31 relaciones dating from 1552-1648 and covering themes ranging from the organization and staffing of the Diocese of Quito to complaints of caciques, indios principales, and pueblos regarding abuses by the clergy. A major set of primary materials not only for Ecuadorian church history but more importantly for study of the interaction between conquerors and conquered and the persistence of autochthonous beliefs and practices during the early colonial period. Includes a solid introductory study"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

"Interviews with leading politicians and political figures including ex-presidents, former generals, and former guerrillas; and with leaders of the Church, indigenous movements, and other key areas of national life. Interviews originally broadcast on television during Rodrigo Borja's 1988-92 presidential term"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
