The crates contained carefully preserved zoological, botanical, and mineral specimens collected from Trujillo's steamy rainforests, agricultural valleys, rocky sierra, and coastal desert. To accompany this collection, the Bishop had also commissioned from Indian artisans nine volumes of hand-painted images portraying the people, plants, and animals of Trujillo. He imagined that the collection and the watercolors not only would contribute to his quest to study the native cultures of Northern Peru but also would supply valuable information for his plans to transform Trujillo into an orderly, profitable slice of the Spanish Empire. Based on intensive archival research in Peru, Spain, and Colombia and the unique visual data of more than a thousand extraordinary watercolors, The Bishop's Utopia recreates the intellectual, cultural, and political universe of the Spanish Atlantic world in the late eighteenth century. Emily Berquist Soule recounts the reform agenda of Martínez Compañón?including the construction of new towns, improvement of the mining industry, and promotion of indigenous education?and positions it within broader imperial debates; unlike many of his Enlightenment contemporaries, who elevated fellow Europeans above native peoples, Martínez Compañón saw Peruvian Indians as intelligent, productive subjects of the Spanish Crown. The Bishop's Utopia seamlessly weaves cultural history, natural history, colonial politics, and art into a cinematic retelling of the Bishop's life and work. 410 0$aEarly modern Americas. 606 $aIndians of South America$xMaterial culture$zPeru$zTrujillo (La Libertad) 606 $aIndians of South America$xEthnobotany$zPeru$zTrujillo (La Libertad) 606 $aIndians of South America$zPeru$zTrujillo (La Libertad)$xSocial conditions$y18th century 606 $aSocial planning$zPeru$zTrujillo (La Libertad)$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aUtopias$zPeru$zTrujillo (La Libertad)$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aNatural history$zPeru$zTrujillo (La Libertad) 606 $aMaterial culture in art 610 $aAmerican History. 610 $aAmerican Studies. 610 $aCaribbean Studies. 610 $aLatin American Studies. 615 0$aIndians of South America$xMaterial culture 615 0$aIndians of South America$xEthnobotany 615 0$aIndians of South America$xSocial conditions 615 0$aSocial planning$xHistory 615 0$aUtopias$xHistory 615 0$aNatural history 615 0$aMaterial culture in art. 676 $a985/.033 700 $aSoule$b Emily Berquist$f1975-$01633204 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815559203321 996 $aThe bishop's utopia$93972839 997 $aUNINA
