Here, for the first time, we get an extensive treatment of the 'ordinary' men and women who populated the missions, presidios, mining camps, and other settlements of Sonora - they have names, identities, agendas, and complex strategies for coping with the multiple demands they face. Those specialising in other geographical areas - not just Latin Americanists - would do well to consider the concrete grounding of this working model. - Cheryl Martin, The University of Texas, El Paso Wandering Peoples is an example of regional history at its best.
