- The Conquest of Peru - Part 12
When Almagro returned to Peru, he found a situation which offered both danger and opportunity. Would Manco's rebellion force him to put aside his rivalry with Pizarro, or would he seek to use it to his advantage?

In today's episode I speak to Nicole von Germeten about her new book The Enlightened Patrolman.
The Enlightened Patrolmen focuses on a proto-police force in Colonial Mexico City, and uses primary sources to examine both the day to day lives of these men, and the larger socio-political ideas behind their work. In the process it brings the streets of the city to life, providing a fascinating glimpse of what it might have been life to venture out onto the city streets of the Northern Hemisphere’s largest city two hundred years ago.

Apologies for the sound quality of this episode! I only discovered upon editing that there are a few car horns and dog barks which I was unable to remove. I wanted to get it out rather than re-record and delay putting it up. I will make sure to find a quieter place to record the next episodes!

The Latin American History Podcast is finally back. In today's episode the conquest properly begins, as Pizarro arrives back in Peru.
As I mentioned in today's episode, the audio quality might not always be the highest as I am recorded wherever I can find a reasonably quiet place in noisy Latin America. This is particularly true of this and the next episode which were recorded in a flat on a busy park in central Bogota - apologies!

Fugitive Freedom - An Interview with William TaylorToday we take a break from the conquest of Peru for an interview with William Taylor - a scholar of colonial Mexican history and before his retirement, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. His new book Fugitive Freedom tells the stories of two men who lived lives of deception, and examines what they can tell us about the society in which they lived. On the surface these men appear to be daring anti-heros and/or dangerous con-men. They also look like real life examples of the Picaros of Spanish colonial literature. A closer look however, reveals them to be much more three-dimensional characters, responding to the limitations of their social position and their own internal mental struggles.

This episode will tell the story of the Ayllon expedition, and the first European settlement in the United States.
