Using data from the years 1552-1585 in the catalogues of Passengers to America in the General Archive of the Indies in Seville, this article investigates how the metropolitan administration identified and treated Peruvian mestizos returning from Spain, and examines the attitude of the peninsular family toward those born overseas to Spanish fathers and to mothers who were frequently unknown. In other words, the present article seeks to determine what objectives Peruvian mestizos pursued during their stay in the Peninsula and what reception they experienced from the metropolitan administration and from their Spanish families.

The nineteenth century in Spanish America exhibits a true saga of funeral ceremonies intended to exalt the role of great men in the configuration of the symbolic arsenal which contributed to molding the foundational mythology of nation-states. The Republican state language turned the association between hero, national body and posterity into a resource of the affirmation of national authority and social and political cohesion. Converted into keystones in the building of the national pantheon, State funerals carried out during the 19th century in the majority of the Spanish American republics became formidable instruments of political and cultural construction. Along these lines, the presen tarticle is occupied with contextualizing the slow process of placing José de San Martín as an Argentine national hero within the coordinates of 19th century European and Spanish American funerary rituals.

This article reconstructs the trajectory of Nicomedes Santa Cruz, one of the foremost Afro-Peruvian intellectuals of all times, whose presence in the public scene transcended a purely artistic ambit and extended to the terrain of social and political criticism. Nicomedes Santa Cruz was a public intellectual whose multifaceted work addressed the most pressing themes of his time: he was a critic of racism, imperialism and social inequality; he supported the Cuban Revolution; he committed himself to the reforms of the Juan Velasco Alvarado regime; and he promoted international solidarity. Likewise, he tried to combine a commitment to socialism with a defense of Afro-Peruvian culture and rights.

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that, due to Archbishop Emilio Lissón's economic management, the Archdiocese of Lima’s financial situation was very difficult at the end of the 1920s. Owing to this, Vatican authorities gradually reduced the Archbishop’s powers in the administration of Church property, and in January 1931 ordered him to resign. The main sources that were used in this study are balance sheets and correspondence from both the Archbishopric of Lima and Vatican Secret Archives.
