Book Review

Bárbaros: Spaniards and Their Savages in the Age of Enlightenment. By David J. Weber. (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2005. xviii + 466 pp. Illustrations, maps, notes, bibliography, index. $35.00.)

David Weber's book is a broadly conceived survey of Spanish-Indian relations in the eighteenth century that is hemispheric in scope. While he states that his work is not intended to be comprehensive, his coverage of the vast geographic territory of Spain's empire from Nootka Sound to Tierra del Fuego is broad and deep. Weber disclaims that his book is an ethnohistoric account, but he gives careful attention to the evolution of tribal polities all over the vast canvas that he sets before the reader. In all, it is a rich comparative study of many peoples whose lives, cultures, histories and futures were intertwined in a multitude of complicated ways.
