Fisher sets out some uncluttered responses to this question, emphasising continuities between the two forms of regime rather than change. The author's arguments are underpinned by a comprehensive review of the major elements of Peru's economic, social and political development for the half century from 1750. The study concludes with a detailed analysis of the independence period (1810-1824) which unlike many previous studies, provides a detailed interpretation of unrest in the highlands of royalist Peru, the dying days of the viceroyalty under Jose de la Serna (1821-1824) in Cusco, and the attempts to reach a negotiated settlement with the patriots under Jose de San Martin. Bourbon Peru is accessible, readable and well argued, and it will be essential reading for anyone with questions about the economy, government, social structure and political outlooks of Peru in the period prior to its independence.Liverpool Latin American studies ;new ser., 4.Bourbon PeruPeruHistoryPeruHistory1548-1820PeruHistoryWar of Independence, 1820-1829PeruPolitics and government1548-1820PeruPolitics and government1820-1829Peru (Viceroyalty)HistorySpainColoniesAmericaHistory985.033Fisher John R(John Robert),1943-1595332MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808370203321Bourbon Peru 1750-18243960777UNINA
