520 1 $a"Six narratives on the lives of 'historically unimportant' figures (an African-descent family from slavery to freedom, an alleged separatist landowner, a Jesuit priest, a powerful local strongman, an anti-imperialist journalist, a popular outlaw) are woven together through vital statistics, records of the acquisition of property, descriptions of political activity, and the like.

Actually, unearthing and analyzing primary data, he argues, is a more productive undertaking than engaging in debates"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.$uhttp://www.loc.gov/hlas/
