This volume, LAO 1, Invading Colombia, along with LAO 2, Invading Guatemala, launch a new series of primary source texts on colonial and nineteenth-century Latin America. Latin American Originals (LAO) presents accessible, affordable editions of texts translated into English—often for the very first time. Some of the source texts were published in the colonial period in their original language (Spanish, Portuguese, or Latin), while others are archival documents written in Spanish or Portuguese or in indigenous languages such as Nahuatl, Zapotec, and Maya. The contributing authors are historians, anthropologists, art historians, and scholars of literature; they have developed a specialized knowledge that allows them to locate, translate, and present these texts in a way that contributes to scholars’ understanding of the period, while also making them readable for students and nonspecialists.
J. Michael Francis is one such author. He received his doctorate from the University of Cambridge in 1998 and has since taught Latin American history at the University of North Florida, where he is an associate professor, while continuing to study and publish on the history of the sixteenth-century New Kingdom of Granada (today’s Colombia). In the course of doing research in the Spanish imperial archives in Seville, Francis uncovered a treasure trove of documents written by Spaniards who had survived their invasion of Colombia in the 1530s. These sources allowed him to construct a narrative of the invasion told by multiple witnesses. Almost none of the documents have been published before, and none have ever been published in English.
