Although some immigrants penetrated the higher circles of poblano society and politics, for the most part they remained close to their entrepreneurial and artisanal origins. Closely associated through business, kinship, marital, and compadrazgo ties, and in residential patterns, the Brihuega immigrants in Puebla constituted a coherent and visible community." "This book uses the experiences and activities of the immigrants as a basis for analyzing society in Brihuega and Puebla, making direct comparisons between the two cities by examining such topics as mobility and settlement; politics and public life; economic activity; religious life; social relations; and marriage, family, and kinship. In tracing the socioeconomic, cultural, and institutional patterns of a town in Spain and a city in New Spain - in all their connections, continuities, and discontinuities - the book offers a new basis for understanding the process and implications of the transference of these patterns within the early modern Hispanic world."--Jacket Notes Print version record Subject Spaniards -- Mexico -- Puebla de Zaragoza -- History -- 16th century Emigration and immigration International relations Spaniards SUBJECT Brihuega (Spain) -- Emigration and immigration -- History -- 16th century Brihuega (Spain) -- Relations -- Mexico -- Puebla de Zaragoza Puebla de Zaragoza (Mexico) -- Emigration and immigration -- History -- 16th century Puebla de Zaragoza (Mexico) -- Relations -- Spain -- Brihuega Subject Mexico -- Puebla de Zaragoza Spain -- Brihuega Genre/Form History Form Electronic book ISBN 9780804780087 0804780080
