Spaniards in the Colonial Empire: Creoles vs. Peninsulars?introduces students to the relationships between Spaniards born inthe Americas and those born in Spain. Creoles, those born in theAmericas, believed that their families sacrifices made themespecially qualified to fill administrative positions in the newterritories; however, Iberian–born Spaniards frequently filledthese posts.

Directly addressing the Americans complaint ofdiscrimination in appointments to offices of church and state, thebook examines why holding these positions was so important tocreoles from the sixteenth century to independence. Spaniards inthe Colonial Empire argues that patriot leaders in the wars ofindependence in the early nineteenth century quickly identifiedpeninsulars as the enemy and shattered colonial elites longcomprised of Spaniards born in both the Old World and the New.
