Publisher's Synopsis

Exemplary Violence explores the violent colonial history of the New Kingdom of Granada (modern-day Colombia and Venezuela) by examining three seventeenth-century historical accounts-Pedro Simón's Noticias historiales, Juan Rodrìguez Freile's El carnero, and Lucas Fernández de Piedrahita's Historia general-each of which reveals the colonizer's reliance on the threat of violence to sustain order.
